Overview

Hiring candidates who can grow and develop into taking on more complex, challenging responsibilities creates a need for businesses to think long-term and consider potential when hiring. Research (HBR) has given us five critical traits of high-potential candidates … curiosity, determination, engagement, insight and motivation, which is where we need to focus our attention when interviewing.

This course provides a practical approach to the recruitment and selection process, with tips and techniques to help you to structure interviews, ask key, searching questions and present your business in the best way possible. An interview is a two-way process and competition to hire the best candidate is often strong.
