(WSQ) Essential Supervisory Skills
New to managing a team? Learn to identify your supervisory style and hone your skills for managing your team confidently and effectively.
(Classroom + Asynchronous E-Learning)
For an organisation to remain successful, build the right culture and reduce excessive people issues, it is critical to have an effective hiring process. To do so, interviewers need to be trained to ensure careful selection of the right candidate for the jobs. In addition, with the impending move by the government to enshrine fair employment guidelines into workplace anti-discriminatory laws, it becomes necessary that the interviewers carry out their hiring roles in accordance to fair employment practices.
This workshop aims to equip HR practitioners and hiring managers with skills on how to identify relevant selection criteria, carry out competency-based interviews and selection, and document hiring decisions properly.
At the end of the programme, participants will be able to:
1. Importance of Quality Recruitment
2. Overview of the Recruitment Process
3. Identification of Selection Criteria
4. Competency-Based Interview Approach
5. Screening & Preparing
6. The Art of Interviewing
7. Making Selection Decision
8. Other Important Considerations During Recruitment & Selection
