Hiring for Success - Training Guides – Word DOCX

Interviewing sounds easy enough: you arrange for a conversation between you and potential candidates, and then select the best person for a particular position. But what if you could refine the process in such a way that you were confident that you are selecting the right person? How do you separate the good from the great, when they have similar work experience and strengths to offer?

At the start of any process, have a detailed idea of what you're seeking. What skills would an individual need to excel at their job? What traits would they need to possess in order to thrive in the environment? It may be an idea to consult with others in similar roles if they exist. This may take more time, but in the long run getting it wrong will cost you more time and money.

This will help you teach participants how to:
•  Recognize the costs incurred by an organization when a wrong hiring decision is made.
•  Develop a fair and consistent interviewing process for selecting employees.
•  Prepare better job advertisements and use a variety of markets.
•  Be able to develop a job analysis and position profile.
•  Use traditional, behavioral, achievement oriented, holistic, and situational (critical incident) interview questions.
•  Enhance communication skills that are essential for a skilled recruiter.
•  Effectively interview difficult applicants.
•  Check references more effectively.
•  Understand the basic employment and human rights laws that can affect the hiring process.
