Behavioural Interviewing:

Taking the Guesswork out of Recruitment

Recruiting the right staff can be a hit and miss affair, unless it is approached in a structured way. By relying on intuition at interview rather than asking the right questions, many managers run the risk of appointing an unsuitable candidate - and this can cost your business both time and money.

This course introduces the proven system of 'Behavioural Interviewing' to predict the future performance of candidates. Famous faces including James Nesbitt will show you how to and how not to get a clear picture of how a candidate will perform in a new job from how you interview them.

The course explores how a well-designed, structured behavioural-interviewing programme can help managers more accurately predict a candidate's potential for success on the job.
