Recruitment and Selection | Nelson Croom

When thinking about recruitment, managers often place too much emphasis on the actual interview. However, if you can't write a good job profile, find and shortlist the right candidates, prepare properly for interview and make the right selection, all the interview skills in the world won't help you to fill your vacancy.

This course gives the learner practical advice on the recruitment process from the moment the need to recruit arises right through to making the job offer.
