This workshop is designed to provide delegates with the basic tools to compile a competency-based interview from scratch, including structure, format and questions. In addition, the whole end-to-end recruitment & selection process is included so that delegates can understand where each component fits into the cycle. The emphasis is on putting the competency-based interview guide together in relation to competencies. Behavioural indicators and rating scales will be discussed. Delegates will have the opportunity to test out their interviewing skills in interactive sessions.
