Description

Are you looking to recruit?

Are you concerned about how to go about it?

Are you unsure of how you make your recruitment campaign open to a diverse candidate base, and avoid discrimination?

I can help with that...

Making a recruitment decision is one of the most important decisions that a business will ever make. Whether you are taking on your first employee, taking on additional staff as your business grows, or looking to replace someone who has left, in today’s recruitment market, making sure that your recruitment process is fair and inclusive is so important.

The recruitment market has changed so much in the past few years, and what candidates are looking for now is so different to 10 or even 5 years ago. Opening up your business to a more diverse and flexible workforce is becoming increasingly essential in you becoming an employer of choice.

If you are looking to build an inclusive and effective recruitment process, then this course is for you, whether you are an employer, manager or supervisor.

Over our time together we will work through the entire process, from making the decision to hire, through writing a job advertisement, the interview and right through to onboarding, and throughout we will be focussing on both the process and the legislation that affects recruitment in the UK.
