CPD Recruitment & Selection

CPD Recruitment & Selection

Our Recruitment and Selection CPD course focuses on the recruitment process, from identifying the need to recruit, right through to making a job offer. It provides practical advice on writing a good job profile, finding and shortlisting the right job candidates, interview preparation, and the job interview itself, as well as making the right selection.

Our three-hour Continuous Professional Development Recruitment and Selection course provides assistance in understanding and following the recruitment and selection process, as well as understanding the implications of equality and discrimination issues. You will learn to write a job profile by defining accountabilities, standards and competencies, and to write an advert which attracts the right job candidates. You will receive guidance on effective interview preparation and on using appropriate body language and questioning to get the best out of candidates at the job interview. Ultimately you will be given tips on making an informed selection based on appropriate criteria after the job interview.

  • If you are new to recruitment and selection, you will find that this course guides you through the process from beginning to end.
