Recruitment & Selection Training

Recruitment & Selection Training

There are many different kinds of animals in the world and we can say the same about people. So how can we be sure of our choice when interviewing candidates? Behaviour Interviewing is a reliable and valid candidate selection technique we can use to help us with this. Learn how past behaviour is often the best indicator of future behaviour.

This workshop concentrates on the pre-interview preparation, developing questions and their value, the interview techniques that get specific, behaviour-based examples of past performance, and the strategies that follow through on this process.
