This workshop is for business owners, team leaders, hiring managers and HR leaders who want to optimise their interviewing technique and hire great people for their business.
Identifying the right person for the role and your organisation requires you to ask great questions and evaluate each candidate’s interview answers using robust metrics. This workshop will give you the knowledge, skills and confidence to design and conduct effective candidate interviews. The training is highly interactive and completed in small groups. We use case studies of live roles and frequently encountered scenarios to ensure it is of maximum relevance to you and your business.
