Interview Skills Development

Why do you need to teach your staff how to interview and select potential candidates? Organisations success rides on tapping the right people for the job. Interviewing is really more art than science and, all-too-often, job candidates who look good on paper and ace the interview process completely choke once they actually get the job. Bad hires are more than an inconvenience: they’re expensive.
