Why book this training course?

🧑🏻‍💼 Avoid serious mistakes

There are important and legally-impactful do’s and don’ts for recruitment interviewing.

And yet, an increasingly wide range of people participate in the process – especially during team/culture fit interview rounds – without any formal preparation. Are you confident in what people at your organisation are saying and asking in interviews?

This training session gives you the peace of mind that all participants have a solid grounding in compliant and inclusive interviewing.

👩🏻‍🎤 Make interviews meaningful

Hiring quality makes a huge difference to the prospects of your organisation, especially if you’re scaling up fast.

Adding further interview rounds can be worth the time if the process adds additional rigour – but if the additional interviewers aren’t well-trained, it might add more noise than signal.

This training session empowers all participants to ask meaningful and revealing questions, so each additional piece of interview contact generates genuine incremental value.

🥰 Protect your employer brand

Inevitably, many more people will interview for a position at your company than ultimately get a job there. So the interview process is a key moment in making or breaking perception of your employer standards within the candidate market, especially in the era of Glassdoor reviews.

This course takes a focused look at ensuring the process works well for every candidate, whether they’re successful or not.
