Strategic Recruitment, Interviewing and Selection

Why Attend

Pressure on recruitment and selection units in organizations seems to be constant if not increasing with time. More is required with less. More effective and new recruitment channels have become a necessity now that branding techniques and use of technology is no longer a choice. The diversification of commonly used selection methodologies has become essential to improve the reliability of selection decisions and improve the quality of hires. Moreover, performance measures and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) have become standard in measuring the reliability and effectiveness of recruitment and selection within organizations. This course is designed, and constantly updated, to explore these topics. It is designed from an operational and cultural perspective and is expected to enable participants to build a holistic approach towards their activities and introduce system changes.

Course Methodology

The course is divided into three equal parts covering recruitment, interviewing and selection. Each part explores the latest trends and best practices associated with the topic in such a way that participants will be able to reflect on, and benchmark, their company's practices. Moreover, almost half of the course will be dedicated to skill building exercises such as role plays, video presentations, trends reports and scenario interviews. The course activities are carefully crafted to ensure the proper transfer of knowledge to skills.

Course Objectives

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
  • Develop budgeted workforce plans in accordance with company directives and market conditions
