Recruitment skills

Best practice techniques for hiring the right people

Making confident hiring decisions is about identifying the right people that will fit into your team and organisation.

We appreciate that what makes a person the right fit for your team and organisation will be different for all our clients. We offer highly practical and interactive training that balances the legal aspects of recruitment, unconscious biases and best practice interview structures with skills and confidence that enable good hiring decisions.

We tailor the content to suit your needs and work within your hiring processes and frameworks. Typically, the content of this training might include stages of the recruitment process, defining job requirements and crafting effective competency-based interview questions to evaluate candidates objectively and avoid unconscious bias. The focus will not only be on how to assess skills and experience, but also how to assess for cultural fit and long-term potential.

Equally important is the quality of candidate experience – get it wrong and it might adversely affect your employer brand, but get it right and you could be known as an employer of choice, which is essential in today’s market where skills and talent are in high demand.

What our clients say about us

Punam Owens, Executive of Quality Operations, MSD

“People Business successfully understood the need and were able to build a bespoke programme which was then delivered across the organisation. The personal, small group approach really allowed for rich and robust discussions around change, change leadership, impact of change and how to navigate change.

The agility of People Business is excellent. They were able to check in at key timepoints and pivot/adjust based on real time feedback to ensure that the potential of the programme outcomes was achieved. The use of Typecoach has created a “common language” across the group; the system’s data-based approach really resonated with the team, creating many “aha” moments and insights.
We are seeing positive changes in recent employee pulse survey and more importantly in day-to-day interactions and collaborative dialogue between associates, where Typecoach is often a conversation starter. The program has enabled the organisation with tools and foundational insights upon which we can continue to build, thus building sustainability versus a one-time initiative.”
