Interviewing Skills for Selecting Talent 2022 – 29 March 2022 (On Demand)

Description

Select the right staff for your organization

In the dawn of the Great Resignation, close to half of our workforce are expected to leave their jobs this year.

How will you select the right candidates for vacancies in your organisation?

This webinar will guide you on how to select staff through proven and reliable methods of competency testing.

Research shows that interviews are often no more reliable than tossing a coin.

Interviewers must ask competency-based questions to choose candidates with the best skills, knowledge, and attitude for the job.

Our employment lawyer will discuss how to comply with the law in job interviews, by avoiding discriminatory questions.
