Interviewing skills: Essential techniques

Duration: 45 minutes

Overview: This course is about the essential techniques to conduct effective job interviews which find the best candidates for new roles. 

In this course, we start by examining five best practices which help set-up candidate interviews for success (and give the best candidates an opportunity to shine). We then review a step-by-step approach for interviewers to prepare for candidate interviews to ensure a smooth recruitment process. Finally, we review the most common types of candidate interviews, as well as tips and tricks for each interview option.

Why is this course important?  The talent management process for all organisations is as critical as ever as employee turnover increases and employee tenure decreases. Organisations often involve a range of staff in the recruitment process. Yet without an effective approach to candidate interviews, it is easy for hiring mistakes to occur - false impressions can be created about candidates who are actually a poor fit, while high-quality candidates may be overlooked. There is a huge investment in recruitment too - time, money, recruitment costs, induction costs and more - which demands that candidate interviews are conducted effectively.

Suitable for:  Managers, leaders and human resources teams, or anyone involved in talent management or candidate recruitment. This course serves as an introduction to candidate recruitment. There are additional topics on advanced interviewing skills and interviewing remote candidates.
