Recruitment and Selection

Course Description
Getting recruitment wrong can be costly both in terms of time, expenditure and impact to the business. Not only is there scope for discrimination claims and subsequent costs, but selecting the wrong person for the job could mean that the job is not carried out as it is meant to, individuals struggle to meet the required standards of performance and subsequently lead to high staff turnover and having to start the recruitment process again.

High staff turnover then becomes an issue in that the recruitment process commences again which incurs substantial costs, plus a certain amount of time is then required to train/educate new hires so they become fully operational in a time efficient manner.

This course focuses on giving you the expertise to deliver legal and effective recruitment campaigns. By the end of the course, you will have a full understanding of the recruitment cycle and be able to recruit effectively and legally so that the risks of getting a recruitment campaign wrong is significantly reduced.
