Outline

Overview

Are you under pressure to fill a vacancy in your organisation? Are you responsible for ensuring equality and diversity in your recruitment process? Do you feel uncertain about how to identify the best candidate objectively?

Hiring new staff is about more than simply interviewing applicants and offering a job – there are legal factors to take into consideration and it can be tricky to know how to recruit impartially, especially if it’s not something you do often.

This workshop will provide practical advice on what makes an effective recruitment strategy, from positioning yourself as an employer of choice by demonstrating your culture and writing accurate job adverts, to interview techniques and avoiding legal pitfalls.

You’ll be equipped with the skills to successfully build a team that aligns with your company’s values and goals, saving yourself valuable time and resources.

Audience

This course is aimed at people that manage others.

Objectives

By the end of this workshop, you will be able to:

  • Evaluate and improve your Employee Value Proposition (EVP)
  • Effectively shortlist candidates based on facts, not feelings
  • Choose the most appropriate interview questions to get the information you need
  • Understand how to conduct the recruitment process from a legal standpoint

Content

  • What is needed for an effective recruitment strategy
  • How to write an effective job advert
  • Interview techniques

Resources

We will provide you with a PDF of the workshop slides, copies of relevant handouts and a list of book recommendations discussed during the session!

Testimonials

Highly recommended!

Sarah and Annie created a tailored training programme to meet our business needs, which was great! The courses were full of insightful information and we left equipped with useful tools and techniques to implement into our businesses. The courses were engaging, inclusive and fun!

A course based on practice, not theory

I had the pleasure to attend training delivered by Annie. The delivery has been superb and the trainer’s practical knowledge makes this learning something I can take away and start applying in my daily job.
The course has been interactive and inclusive, allowing neurodivergent people like myself feel welcomed and at ease, making the learning experience enjoyable, not endurable. The materials have been based on the needs of my organisation and provide great support to my managerial role.

Very understanding and knowledgeable

Hi I really enjoyed this course and the course trainer is very understanding and knowledgeable. It was very nice to talk to people outside my work with no judgement. I felt free to talk to Annie. The only critic I have is the course was a bit short I could be on that course for the whole day and get more out of it although i have learned a great deal with the course. I intend to have more courses like this one in the future. A big thank you to Annie.

All the staff involved gave glowing accounts

During post-recession business expansion it was felt that senior managers would benefit from some training in leadership, time management, personal impact and self-awareness skills. Using Sarah’s HR experience and training abilities it was possible to combine this with a search for potential future directors. All the staff involved gave glowing accounts of the way Sarah has improved their management capabilities. Even the management training doubters were won around! Output from the staff exercises and insights from Sarah have been combined with staff performance appraisals to identify directorial talent. We will not hesitate to use Sarah’s services again when we need them.

Sarah helped our senior staff with HR and management training. All feedback from staff was positive and I’m sure it wasn’t just because of the chocolate rewards used in some of the exercises! Her training and insight has aided us in targeting potential future Directors of the company and empowered other staff in their management roles.

Really good and interesting and very useful

The webinar was perfect for me the content was really good and interesting and very useful. The interaction just by message was better for me than being on camera. Thanks for a good course.

Scheduled Delivery Dates

We currently don’t have any courses scheduled, so please contact us to find out more about alternative options.

On-Demand Delivery

In addition to our public scheduled courses, we also offer the option of on-demand private training that’s exclusive to your organisation.

This can provide a particularly convenient and cost-effective solution if you have a large number of staff members to train.

And it’s also tremendously flexible.

Since on-demand courses only have your delegates attending, we can customise them to be specific to the policies and processes of your organisation, and tailor course lengths and depths to suit your particular needs. Likewise, we can combine material from several existing courses, develop fully bespoke content, or combine multiple courses into full programmes of training.

And we can deliver this training whenever and wherever is best for you; in-house at your venue, at one of our training venues, somewhere else entirely, online, or any combination of these.

For an idea of the types of on-demand training that we can provide, just take a look at our on-demand training catalogue.

To find out more about our on-demand delivery options, please contact us to arrange an informal chat with one of our friendly and down-to-earth training instructors.
