Heather MacDougall describes The Interviewers Resource Pack from Allen Training Associates as her “bible”. Never out of the busy HR Manager’s hands for very long, MacDougall uses The Interviewer’s Resource Pack to fill vacancies for everything from Administrators to Laboratory Attendants to Environmental Stress Physiologists.
MacDougall used the pack for the first time whilst attending Allen Training Associate’s Competency Based Interviewing training course. “The advantages of the pack were immediately obvious” she says, “I regard it as a new way of life!”
As a result of using The Interviewer’s Resource Pack, MacDougall’s approach to interviewing has become more structured and her preparation more comprehensive. The results are self evident she says; “We find the right people for our vacancies”.
In entry interviews carried out by the Scottish Agricultural College on new employees, candidates who were interviewed using the pack described the interview process as “thorough” and “in-depth”. “Candidates felt that the interviews were structured towards their individual capabilities and experience,” says MacDougall “and felt a sense of pride and achievement in making it through the selection process”.
