Use of assessment center elements in the job interview

More clarity - fewer wrong decisions

This training is held in German.
In times of a shortage of skilled workers, it is all the more important to carry out employer branding through an appealing and high-quality selection of specialists and managers. It is now a matter of making contact with applicants and, on the one hand, presenting your own company and the requirements associated with the position to the outside world and, on the other hand, checking the suitability of applicants in a short space of time. Looking at applicants individually and recognizing and reporting back possible areas for development offers added value on both sides. The aim of the seminar is therefore to enrich the interview selection tool with practical assessment sequences, thereby improving the quality of your selection decision and making your company more attractive on the specialist and management market. In this training, you will learn how to design a company-specific, systematic and effective selection process.
