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. Getting it wrong and it might adversely affect your employer brand. Getting it right gets you known as an employer of choice which is essential in today’s market where skills and talent are in high demand.
