The content of this workshop is continuously reviewed and updated in the light of changes in best practice and new developments in employment legislation.
The programme has been specifically designed to provide participants with a clear understanding of the theory underpinning current best practice in recruitment and selection as well as providing them with an understanding of their responsibilities as interview board members.
This workshop can be tailored to meet the needs of board members preparing for a particular/specific competition.
