Recruitment

Examining All Aspects of the Recruitment Process

Recruitment is always an important consideration for an organisation.

It can have a considerable impact on cost, quality and time but it is often left to chance in terms of the skills and insight of those line managers who are involved in the actual recruitment process.

Consequently line managers often see recruitment as something which HR should do when the truth is somewhere in between.

This programme examines all aspects of the recruitment process including the decision to recruit, defining roles, criteria for selection, interview styles and techniques, questioning and listening skills and post selection activities.
