Interviewing Skills

Many HR Professionals agree that traditional interviewing is not a reliable predictor of future performance – and poor recruitment decisions can be very costly.

Values and strengths based interviewing provides a best-practice recruitment approach that:

• Matches candidates to your organisation’s culture as well as to the requirements of the role
  
• Is fair to all candidates
  
• Probes candidates’ experience for evidence of past behaviours most likely to predict future strengths and performance
  
• Increases the probability of making good recruitment decisions.

That it delivers what it says on the tin.  The trainer actually ensured that the objectives were met.  Sometimes, this is only an opening exercise on some courses and the objectives get “lost” along the way, but Madeleine cleverly ensured she covered everyone’s expectations.  Very interesting course – wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it.
