Effective Recruitment and Selection
A 3.5-hour interactive session, delivered as part of our Managing People Risk pillar
Getting Recruitment Right First Time
The impact of poor recruitment practice can be felt in financial terms as well as in loss of productivity, waste of management time and, at times, reputational damage. Recruiting the right person first time is essential to the success of any organisation. This is becoming increasingly important with the changes to Unfair Dismissal rights and uncapped tribunal awards. This course equips managers and those involved in recruitment with the skills and understanding of best practice needed to identify, attract and retain the best available talent.
About this session
This is a 3.5-hour Elevate Live session, delivered by an expert facilitator in a live, interactive format. As part of our Managing People Risk pillar, it focuses on the practical skills needed to plan and run an effective, fair recruitment process, giving delegates the opportunity to ask questions, discuss real scenarios and leave with actionable next steps rather than a static set of slides.
