Hiring the wrong person costs organisations an average of three times that person's annual salary (CIPD, 2022). Beyond the financial impact, a poor hire can affect team performance, morale, and your organisation's reputation. And yet most people who conduct interviews have never received any formal training in how to do it well. Effective recruitment is not about finding the candidate you like best. It is about designing a process that consistently identifies the person best suited to the role, treats every candidate fairly, and gives your organisation a defensible record of how decisions were made. In the UK, the Equality Act 2010 requires that recruitment decisions do not discriminate unlawfully.
This course is suitable for all audiences.
-Plan a recruitment process that is consistent, structured, and defensible from job design through to offer
-Identify bias in shortlisting, interviewing, and selection decisions and apply techniques to reduce its influence
