Core management series: Recruiting the right people
Programme Overview & Summary
Ensuring our recruitment process is transparent, fair and consistent means that we attract a wide range of applicants from diverse and varied backgrounds and enables us to build an open and inclusive workplace.
Selecting the right people for the right jobs is a key part of a line managers role but the process can be filled with pitfalls and potential legal consequences if carried out incorrectly.
This highly practical, thought provoking workshop increases awareness of our own internal biases and covers the key skills needed to recruit correctly.
You will leave the workshop with a clear understanding of what to consider when recruiting and the skills and confidence to plan and conduct interviews in a clear and transparent way to ensure we recruit the right person for the role.
