Description
Business is all about people, and hiring the right people makes a massive difference to the performance of any business or team.Start hiring confidently, skilfully and professionally. Make right decisions first time; avoid costly hiring mistakes    The recruitment & selection interview is still by far the most widely used method of hiring new talent to fill a job vacancy. Recruiting a new member to your team or business is an important decision. Get it right and the benefits are enormous. Get it wrong and you live with the consequences for a long time. Recruitment training can make a real difference to you and your business. A poor recruitment & selection decision can quickly have a very negative effect on performance: not only for the individual concerned, but also the whole team. Tackling the problem of the wrong hiring decision will take an incredible amount of time and effort. Far better to learn how to interview somebody for a job professionally and get it right first time.WHAT DO EXISTING STUDENTS SAY?'It is a wonderful course.

It is to the point, with practical examples and it gives you all the basics to be able to prepare for a good HR interviewer'. - Urska Cepin'The course was really helpful for revising and reviewing the major topics in recruitment. Richard Lock’s presentation is great and easy to understand. What I liked is that Richard draws attention to how easily we can succumb to the biases and prejudices at each stage of the recruitment interviewing. And these are traps we must avoid! The course examines all stages of recruitment and gives us ideas and some hands-on tools on how to improve interviewing. I would recommend this to anyone interested in HR and Recruitment! Big Thanks to Richard Lock for the fantastic insights! '  - Rafaela Rafailova'This course is presented in a clear & logical way.
