Recruitment/Staff Selection

Recruitment & Selection

Both sides of the coin. Whether selecting new staff or looking at the next job, people do it better if they have had skills training.

In both cases, surprisingly, staff are often expected to be able to do it instinctively. But the cost of selecting inappropriate staff, and the benefit of having employees who feel that they are in control of their own destiny, are enormous.

• Did you know you can subconsciously discriminate against people & this can affect your selection decision?
• Do you know why each person on the selection panel should be trained in selection skills?
• Do you know how to make referees a crucial part of your decision making?
• Do you want to know why people appoint clones of themselves?

This interactive workshop is designed to help recruiters use the selection process to appoint the best possible candidate for the job.
