Recruitment and Selection Skills

Recruiters have a vital role both in helping their organisation achieve its mission and presenting a positive, progressive and inclusive face to the world. This programme focuses on the skills needed to achieve these aims. 

Overview

It is people that shape organisations. The choices and decisions that you make as a recruiter will ultimately impact on the how successful your organisation is in achieving its mission. It is important, therefore, to see the recruitment activity, even for short non-permanent roles, as a step toward achieving the organisation’s aspirations. Rather than a simple transactional process, recruitment is your opportunity to invest in your organisations’ future.

 

It is important also to be aware that, as recruitment is an outward facing activity, others will form and share opinions about your organisation based on their experience during the recruitment process.  Ensuring a positive candidate experience is essential if you want the best to apply. Recruiters have a vital role here, ensuring recruitment:

  • Is based on merit through fair assessment and open competition
  • attracts applicants from all backgrounds and sections of society
  • is positive about recruiting applicants with disabilities and mental health issues
  • presents a positive, progressive and ethical face to the world
  • is transparent in its decision making
  • provides a model for other organisations to follow.

This programme is focused on providing participants with the skills necessary to ensure the recruitment process supports the organisation both in achieving its mission and presenting a positive, progressive and inclusive face to the outside world. It follows the process from creating accurate job descriptions and person specification, through to the assessment and scoring of candidates.
