Interviewing Skills - 14th January 2014
Good recruitment is about finding the right person for the job. Although simple enough, it is often challenging to select the right candidate, especially in a competitive market. Interviewers are usually under pressure to get additional resources and candidates are keen to get employment - all of which makes the selection process vitally important to reduce the risk of costly mistakes and ensure the fit works and is rewarding for both.
