RECRUITMENT: INTERVIEWS AND INTERVIEW TECHNIQUES
LEARN THE DO'S AND DON'T'S OF HIRING INTERVIEWS
THE OBJECTIVE
In this 1-day course you will learn how to identify and uncover your candidates’ characteristics and qualities, ensure a good job match using the PI assessment tools, and understand the do’s and don’t’s when it comes to structuring interview questions and phases.
There are many facets to interviewing candidates. You have to be a good facilitator of the dialogue, make the candidate feel comfortable, leave a good impression, and give an accurate portrait of the organisation and the open position – and at the same time identify any potential mismatches between the candidate and the job / organisation that may be a barrier to success.
You need to make your organisation appealing to the candidates who are in demand, while being transparent about the negative aspects of the job. Recruitment is filled with paradoxes and pitfalls, and your time with the candidate is often short and under time-pressure.
In PI you have a tools with enormous potential and an obvious platform for organising your recruitment process. In this course we will zoom in on the qualities of the tools in relation to getting the maximum benefits from your dialogue with the candidate.
