Effective interviewing techniques

Why needed


The ability to recruit the right staff contributes significantly to the success of an organisation. Interviews that are held in the final stages of the recruitment process are an essential step in ensuring that the right people are found for each new position.

This highly practical training programme offers a structured way to conduct interviews, so that all aspects affecting the candidate’s job performance are covered in a fair and objective manner. Participants are videotaped doing the interview role plays, and then given feedback to accelerate their training on this programme.

  • Possible prejudices and what triggers them in an interview
