training: Job interview for beginners 

One of the most crucial stages in the entire recruitment process is the interview. Following this, HR employees or managers often make their final decision for or against the applicants based on a short interview.
Those facing their first interviews often feel insecure. This is because a confident appearance and suitable (questioning) methods in the interview with applicants help to check their weak points.
The good news is that HR decision makers and managers can learn how to conduct interviews with future employees . After our face-to-face or live training training, you will know how to ask in-depth questions in a job interview - even as a newcomer - instead of conducting a superficial conversation. You will also gain confidence in your approach to applicants.

Please note: We use third-party tools for selected events. Personal data of the participant will be passed on to them for the implementation of the training offer. You can find more information in our privacy policy.
