Ever interviewed someone and taken them on based on Gut Feeling? Probably. Most people are never trained how to interview. Were you right? Often Gut Feeling is right. Sometimes it isn’t. How much does it cost to get it wrong? Costs for hiring the wrong person are estimated at between £5,000 and £25,000 – but it could be worse than that.

Not only can hiring the wrong person be detrimental internally to staff morale, inability to meet the business demands / sales targets etc, but with constant changes in employment and human rights legisation – you can be sued if someone thinks you have unfairly discriminated against them either with your advertising or interviewing – or at any point of the recruitment process. You have to be able to prove you did not. Therefore you need a robust system in place which does not rely on GUT FEELING as the core of the process.

Thats where our copyright behavioural interviewing system – IBIS (c) comes in. The system protects you against mischievious or genuine claims of discrimination and ensures you have the best possible chance of recruiting the people you need to grow your business / team and make it the success you deserve it to be. We use IBIS internally to recruit for our clients and we now offer it as a half day or one day training course to our clients.

On the course you / your managers will learn –

• How to write a person AND job spec and decide if you want to replace the person who left / got promoted or the person who joined
• How to decide what are the CORE criteria – the ones without which the person will not be able to be successful in the job
• How to create a behavioural questioning framework around those questions to uncover whether the candiate does to does no possess those skills / qualities
• How to objectively assess the interview using our specially designed scorecard
• How to set up the interview room / put the interviewee at ease
• How to prepare for and conduct the interview
• Tips on the Halo and Horns effect
• What types of question you should use, how and when
• How to work with an agency and get what you need

If you cannot state, based on fact and evidence, why you have / have not offered someone a job – at best you are leaving your business growth and success to chance and at worst you are putting your business at risk.
