Recruiting the Right Person: Behavioural Interviewing

Behavioural interviewing is a simple yet highly effective way to inject more objectivity into the staff selection process and to increase your confidence in making informed hiring decisions. This program focuses on pre-interview preparation, developing behavioural based questions and understanding their value, the interview techniques that allow you to draw out specific behavioural-based examples of past performance and the strategies that follow through on this process.
