“The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can't find them, make them.”
George Bernard Shaw
Your company has been prosperous and wants to go through a recruitment drive. You are a manger of this small company but feel overloaded with all the tasks you have to deal with on all fronts and need a helping hand. You are a line manager and have been fighting off other managers to access a pot of departmental budget. You have succeeded and want to use it quickly to expand your team in order to kick start several projects that would be valuable to your department.
All of these cases lead to a critical activity; interview suitable applicants to find the most ideal candidate for the job. The interview process would depend on many variables such as on the company’s size, recruitment strategy, the HR department and so on. Over the years a large amount of research has been carried out to find the most effective strategies to conduct in an interview.
This course is designed based on this research and will help delegates to master the art of interviewing. This general course on conducting interviews is suitable for a variety of training requirements. Managers of a small company who simply want to learn how to run an interview, or dedicated interviewing staff who are part of a large organisation through a recruitment drive will all benefit from this course.
The course covers many areas such as interview strategy, psychological behaviour, questioning skills, body language and handling interviewees. Delegates will learn what stages they need to go through before an interview to prepare for the event and then what stages to go through during an interview so they can get as much information as possible which would then help them or the organisation to pick the most ideal candidate for a particular role.
All the concepts covered in the course come with comprehensive examples so delegates can clearly see how each technique works. There are many interactive exercises that help delegates to role play running an interview and systematically improve their style while getting feedback from other delegates and the trainer. The training materials contain everything you need to run the course. You can easily modify the content to incorporate specific material on corporate recruitment strategy or extend the session on legal matters based on your local rules and regulations.
