Effective interviewer

"45 minutes that interview lasted, and I hardly said anything. I wonder if they actually remember who I am?"

How many times have you heard (or felt) these sentiments? Interview rooms are strange places, they make the real seem unreal; they scare almost everyone.

We explore essential candidate care techniques that generate rapport and trust. Interviewers get the best from their interviews when they can relax and relate to their candidates. We use the social styles model to understand, rather than judge, behaviour preferences.
Benefits to you:

• Maximise the potential that you will recruit the most appropriate candidate for any particular role
• Gain confidence when conducting interviews
• Improve core communication skills and eliminate bad habits
• Generate positive impression with candidates

Briefly this practical session focuses on 3 or 4 simple techniques, designed to assist interviewers as they approach a series of interviews. Even the most timid of interviewers will be able to elicit balanced, fair evidence to support the recruitment decisions that they will ultimately contribute to making.
This interactive session will help you by:

• Assess all candidates objectively in a fair and equal way
• Question and probe to elicit evidence of specific competencies
• Build rapport and trust with interviewees quickly
• Apply an understanding of social styles to the interview process

We focus on questioning and probing against consistent criteria in order to extract facts rather than to use opinion as a selection decision making tool.
