Behavioural Interview Training

Master the powerful STAR method and other behavioural questioning techniques to gain deep insights into candidates' past performance and predict future behaviour in specific work situations.

Essential for assessing cultural fit and practical capabilities.

Structured Interview Design

Eliminate bias and improve consistency by designing and implementing a legally defensible structured interview process. We help you define key competencies for each role, develop standardized questions aligned with those competencies, create clear evaluation criteria, and train interview panels to ensure all candidates are assessed fairly and accurately using the same framework. This is key to making objective hiring decisions and reducing legal risk.

We analyse your current process, identify bottlenecks, recommend improvements in areas like sourcing, screening, interviewing, and offer management, and help you implement best practices and technology solutions. Streamlining your process saves time, reduces cost-per-hire, and enhances the candidate experience, crucial in a competitive market.

Candidate Assessment Training

Beyond interviews, learn to effectively use a variety of assessment tools and techniques to evaluate candidate fit, potential, and specific skills. This can include training on using psychometric tests, skills assessments, assessment centres, and background checks appropriately and effectively. We ensure your team understands how to integrate different assessment methods for a holistic and accurate evaluation of candidates.
