This course is a fundamental cornerstone for any manager or human resource professional before hiring job candidates. Active participation will equip you with comprehensive knowledge and practical skills for conducting effective interviews, implementing successful recruitment approaches, and executing thorough selection processes. You will gain valuable insights into behavioral assessment techniques and learn to recognize potential red flags during candidate evaluation. The course also explores why poor hiring decisions frequently result in substantial time expenditure, financial losses, decreased team morale, and diminished productivity. By understanding these critical aspects of talent acquisition, you'll develop the expertise needed to identify truly qualified candidates whose skills and values align with your organization's needs, ultimately avoiding the costly mistake of hiring unsuitable personnel.
The course combines interactive tools such as mini-lectures, case studies, group activities, and role plays. It also includes a selection of short films to inject a higher dose of practicality into the material.
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
Managers, superintendents, supervisors, and officers in the functions of human resources or recruitment whose jobs require recruiting and selecting employees. The course is also very useful for all those outside human resources whose jobs require conducting frequent and important selection interviews.
