Who is it for

This is an essential course for anyone involved in the recruitment and selection process in any way - particularly managers who are recruiting staff into their own teams.

What is it about

Do you regularly find yourself panic recruiting; taking the best of a mediocre bunch just to fulfil a need? Is your staff turnover higher than your competitors?  Are your operations at risk because you can’t find the right staff or keep recruiting the wrong ones?  Failings in the recruitment and selection process can do more damage to your business than almost any other factor.  If there is one thing that the Reed group of companies knows about, it is matching the right person to the right role in the right way!
