Recruitment and Selection Training

Overview:

Recruiting people who are wrong for your organisation and team can lead to increased staff turnover, increased costs for the organisation and lowering of morale in the existing workforce. Such people are likely to be discontented, unlikely to give you their best, and end up leaving voluntarily or involuntarily when their unsuitability becomes evident. To avoid this, it's vital that we get it right first time when recruiting and selecting.
