training: conducting job interviews professionally
One of the most crucial parts of the entire recruitment process is the interview. HR departments often make their final decision for or against an applicant based on a short interview. Corporate departments such as sales or marketing are usually highly professionalized in companies. In contrast, recruiting often lacks the necessary basic theoretical knowledge. Yet knowledge of interviewing is more important than ever, especially in times of employer branding and staff shortages. The good news: how HR decision makers conduct interviews with future employees can be learned. After our training , it will be easy for you to conduct successful and targeted interviews. You will know the most important basics for successful applicant interviews and will be able to use your acquired knowledge and the appropriate methods immediately.
Everything you need to know about personnel selection in two compact seminar days
Successful recruiting culminates in a structured job interview. Applicants usually prepare meticulously for this. After all, everyone wants to show their best side and present their advantages. However, HR HR managers also need adequate preparation and, above all, the necessary know-how to make applicant interviews effective. In addition to the appropriate pre-selection of applicants , this also includes choosing the right medium. Interviews no longer necessarily have to be conducted at the company headquarters. Telephone interviews or video conferences are an integral part of the recruiting process, especially for globally active companies. The two-day course presented here provides all participants with the skills they need to find the best applicants , regardless of the interview location or medium. One thing is certain: if you take part in this training and conduct job interviews, you will know all the important methodical and practical interview techniques.
