Interview Training

Learn how to effectively recruit and induct the right people into your business

The vicious circle of losing, replacing, training and losing again is costly, demotivating and time-consuming. Is it simply bad luck or can we minimise the risks?

Attracting the right staff to your business is vital. In order to thrive, any business needs well-qualified people who are good at what they do and suited to your business.

This training course will show you how to effectively recruit and induct the right people into your business. You will learn how to prepare job descriptions, person profiles and suitable questions to assess the applicant, how to conduct an interview and get the best from the applicant without offending the individual or the equal opportunities legislation.

Hiring and interviewing is both art and science. Refusing to improve this vital process will almost always guarantee you will be spending money and time hiring the wrong people. Here are several reasons why traditional techniques are inadequate:

• The majority of applicants "exaggerate" to get a job
• Most hiring decisions are made by intuition during the first few minutes of the interview
• Two out of three hires prove to be a bad fit within the first year on the job
• Most interviewers are not properly trained nor do they like to interview applicants
• Excellent employees are misplaced and grow frustrated in jobs where they are unable to utilize their strengths.

“We usually see only the things we are looking for, so much that we sometimes see them where they are not.”Eric Hoffer

Supervisors and managers involved in selecting and interviewing staff.
