Start the new year in style - by enhancing your skills

Good recruitment is about finding the right person for the job, but do you know enough about selection techniques to be sure you are choosing the best candidate? Sharpen up your Interviewing Skills at Cambridge Network's Learning Collaboration course in January.

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.

This one-day workshop on 14th January is designed to equip managers with a range of skills and techniques so you can conduct recruitment interviews which are professional, effective and within the law.

You will learn:

  • Behavioural based interviewing – where the most reliable indicator of future performance is evidence of past behaviour
  • What to look for in a CV – highlight areas that need clarification
  • How to draw up the essential criteria and experience you require
  • How to prepare for and structure a recruitment interview
  • What questions to ask to get to understand the candidate’s experience and get them talking
  • How to make the final selection
  • About the legal framework – things you can/can’t ask and legal pitfalls to avoid

  • Project the image of confidence, competence and engagement through non-verbal communication
  • Have a toolbox of content techniques to choose from, as and when appropriate
  • Avoid death by PowerPoint
  • Develop skills to create effective memory prompts
  • Create a SMART action plan to ensure continuous development after the workshop
