FAQ’s

Why is interview skills training important?

Interviewing is an integral part of the recruitment process. It is important that all interviewers are equipped with the required skills to conduct an interview in order to ask the best possible questions in the interview in order to determine and select the correct person fit to meet the role requirements.  

Interview skills training equips hiring managers with these skills and looks at how biases and not asking the right questions can hinder the process.
