Competency Based Interviewing Skills Training
Training Course Description;
The uncreative mind can spot wrong answers, but it takes a very creative mind to spot wrong questions.
Anthony Jay
As an employer, the most crucial skill one should posses is discerning how to pick the most qualified and efficient employee for the Job. The position and skill set might vary but the basic qualifications must be established to ensure maximum productivity and efficiency in the work place.
In this course, we take you through the process of conducting successful interviews from the primary contact with the shortlisted candidate, to the method of conducting the main interview. Knowing which questions to ask and how to ask them and also being able to identify different red flags.
Regardless of the method of the interview, the interviewer must be observant and keen to not only screen the potential employee on qualifications and skills but also to establish character and demeanor.
