Module overview
The key to unlocking an organisation’s potential to achieve maximum performance and efficiency is its people. Effective recruitment and selection is the first vital step in building a winning team. This 3-day practical course concentrates on preparing for and conducting interviews, and also gives an overview of those crucial areas necessary for effective and efficient recruitment and selection.

  • design a selection process which will ensure that the best people are recruited
  • plan and undertake effective one-to-one interviews
