process from start to finish.

people are in the right job. It helps to increase job satisfaction,
reduce wastage of resources, achieve better retention of

KEY THEMES
The recruitment process We consider the ways in
which the selection techniques can increase success
when recruiting. We look at competency frameworks,
psychometric and ability tests, work based tests and
assessment centres.
Conducting effective interviews It is important to
make every question count in an interview. We look at
effective questioning techniques and include an
opportunity to practice interviewing techniques.
Finalising decisions Here we look at the importance of
the end of the recruitment process, managing the
successful candidate into the organisation and ensuring
unsuccessful candidates are treated appropriately.
The importance of retention We have all heard the
phrase 'the most important thing for a business is it's
people'. Businesses can succeed or fail on the resources
it employs the skills and experience of individuals are
human 'assets' of the company and to loose staff for
preventable reasons is a huge waste of money and
reduces business performance. We look at the costs of
losing staff and look at why staff leave organisations.
Motivation What makes individuals satisfied with their
roles? We look at what motivates different individuals
and how their motivation can be harnessed through
both financial and non-financial strategies.
