This course will cover the practical ideas to make all recruitment interviews more productive and focused. Specific skills can be learnt which will minimise the ‘gut feel instant decision’ and allow an ‘informed decision’ to be made. These include rapport building, active listening, questioning for behavioural traits etc.

Pre/Post Course Support

A key part of their process is understanding what led to your decision to improve your team.

We will incorporate all your current training materials to build in effective role plays and discussions suited specifically to your organisational needs.

  • The pre-course questionnaire (Including personal objectives for the session)

After the course each delegate will receive:

  • A CPD Accredited Certificate

Unlike most companies, we charge for the hire of the trainer rather than per delegate, this allows you to vary delegate numbers at no extra charge! We normally recommend between 6-12 delegates per course but this can be discussed when commissioning the training course. Our trainers will always try to accommodate your budget.

All course documentation and preparation work is also provided as part of the fee. The only additional charge would be travel expenses (and accommodation if appropriate) for those clients based outside Central London.
