Structured interview training
Interviewing remains one of the most popular methods for recruiting employees into new jobs. Whilst it remains very popular, the biggest question we should ask is, how effective is the interview in identifying the best employee for the job?
Get the interview right and it will help you to select the right person, get it wrong and you could end up with square pegs in round holes. Indeed research has consistently shown that structured interviews are more effective than unstructured interviews.
