Description

New hires can take the business in a different direction, so it’s essential to get it right.  Whether employees have been interviewing candidates for positions for years or they’ve never done it before, our interactive interviewing skills course explores what to look out for and how to hold interviews.

Interviews must be fair and gather plenty of information about the candidate.  Our interviewing training takes delegates through the entire interviewing journey, from identifying who to invite to conduct the interview, to selecting who will fill the role.

  • Something for everyone. Our course can be tailored to attendees’ experience, and even if it’s a mixed-ability group, everyone can take something away from the course to use when they next conduct an interview.
  • Trying to choose between the final two? We’ll cover what to consider when making that all-important choice and how to decide who would be the best fit for your organisation.
  • Tailored to you. Different organisations interview differently, so we’ll ensure we understand how your business does things, ensuring our course is as relevant as possible.
  • Expert trainers. Our trainers are selected for their ability to teach to a high level and because they’ve had practical business experience of what they teach. They have extensive experience interviewing and being interviewed, providing attendees with helpful, pragmatic advice and insight.
  • Useful accompanying workbook. All delegates will receive a workbook unique to the bespoke course delivered to the company. You’ll find tips, techniques and exercises to refer to when preparing to interview.

We recommend introducing interviewing skills as part of the broader topic of talent management. Please get in touch with us to discuss how we can deliver a course that meets your requirements to get your organisation on the path to building strong teams for success. We can cover talent management models, team building strategy, seeing through CVs, and more to boost your organisation’s talent management.

Managers, recruiters and anyone interviewing as part of your recruitment process.

After completing your interviewing skills course, delegates will be able to:

  • Select suitable candidates to interview
  • Ensure that candidates are comfortable before, during and after the interview
  • Prepare an agenda and effective, appropriate questions
  • Understand whether the individual is right for your business
  • Maintain consistency with every interviewee
  • Carry out different types of interviews, depending on the situation
  • Record how each candidate performs
  • Decide on who the successful candidate will be
  • Understand what you can and can’t ask candidates in an interview.

Interviewing skills training can have a far-reaching impact on your organisation, from improving hiring outcomes and reducing costs to a more diverse and productive workforce. It is critical in shaping your organisation’s success.
