Live Online Recruitment and Selection Training Course
Live online, instructor-led · next cohort Nov 9, 2026 · from USD 800
Hiring decisions shape a team for years, and a rushed or biased process can leave a manager with costly turnover, legal complaints or a poor cultural fit. You start with workforce planning, job analysis, job descriptions and person specifications so that every vacancy rests on a clear need. Sourcing sessions compare internal and external channels, job boards, social media, agencies and employee referrals, along with writing adverts that attract suitable applicants. Screening and assessment topics cover shortlisting criteria, telephone screens, aptitude tests and planning structured, competency-based interviews.
The fourth day moves from offer to onboarding: reference and background checks, making and negotiating offers, employment contracts and planning a structured induction. Closing sessions examine equal opportunity requirements, candidate experience and measuring hiring effectiveness with simple metrics. Mock interviews and shortlisting exercises use realistic vacancies and CVs. HR officers, recruiters, line managers, supervisors and business owners who hire staff are the target group. You finish able to run a fair, efficient hiring process from vacancy to first day, and to explain every decision with evidence.
