Brush up on your interviewing skills

If your new year plans include finding new talent for your business, why not brush up on your interviewing skills? Cambridge Network's Learning Collaboration course next Tuesday (January 14th) could be just what you need.

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? 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
