Course Description
Hiring is everything. A wrong hire can be
expensive and hard to correct if it ever is
correctable. It is for this reason that managers
need to be careful about their hiring decisions.
This is not easy when candidates are putting their
best foot forward and go to great lengths
including lying to win the much coveted job. This
is why a lot of hires end up with firing and
resignations.
It is true that a lot of guesswork and gut
feel go into hiring decision making but there is a
way to be more objective about it. Through this
interactive and experiential workshop, the
participants will learn how to prepare for a
screening task, ask the right questions, probe
candidates for the competencies they are looking
for and evaluate interviews more objectively. The
program includes introduction to the recruitment
process and methodologies and a lot of skill
practice to ensure that participants can replicate
them in the workplace.
Workshop Objectives
At the end of the program, the participants are
expected to:
Define job fit and profile of a right hire
Go through the proper way of scanning the
resume and using it as reference for the
interview
Know the right way of using Aptitude and
personality test in the interview process
Prepare for the conduct of interview
Know the important interview Dos and Donts.

Target Participants
Recruitment specialists, supervisors, managers and all
hiring decision-makers
