Conducting Interviews Certificate

Conducting Interviews

The process of conducting interviews is a highly nuanced one. When a company wishes to find and employ a new individual for a job vacancy, there is a process of action that needs to be taken to both efficiently and fairly source the right candidate. 

In the middle of this hiring process, is the interview itself – but to be a successful interviewer, you will need to understand the full extent of recruitment and recognise what it takes for a job applicant to become an employee of your company.

In this course, you will learn everything you need to know to be an effective communicator, a patient and active listener, and a good, fair selector when it comes down to choosing the right candidate. You will learn the basics of interview styles and formats, as well as job vacancy preparation, and how to create the ideal candidate profile. 

You will also learn about how to maintain rapport during an interview, how to create both structured and unstructured interview formats and what the most traditional and useful interview questions are. 

Finally, you will learn about discrimination, and discover what it takes to show equality and inclusion in conducting your interviews and making that final selection.

 

What you will learn:

      • The different types, styles, forms and techniques of interviews and how you can cater them to your specific need.
      • How to avoid discriminatory behaviour, and conduct interviews that promote equality, diversity and inclusion.
      • Ways in which you can specifically structure behavioural interviews to find the perfect candidate for your company.

 

Benefits of taking this course:

        • Tips and hints on how to make the hiring process simple and efficient.
        • You will learn different methods of interviewing candidates.
        • It can open doors to further your knowledge on conducting interviews and candidate selection.

To be honest I was sceptical at first. There are many online courses to choose from but what intrigued me the most about this course is the number of modules (22 of them). This appeared to be more detailed than others. The reason I took this course is because I started a new role as a support tutor for a large training company. I already had some experience in working with learners who had special needs and learning difficulties but wanted more in-depth knowledge and tips to support my delivery. I also wanted to know more on the legal of side of SEN too. The course was offered at a large discount that did give me concerns! But I took the plunge and have been pleasantly surprised on how well it's been written and presented in manageable bite-size chunks. I was planning to study about a couple of hours a night but once I started I found it difficult to stop. It took me about 3 days to complete. The information is comprehensive but manageable. You can tell the person/persons who wrote this have a passion for supported learning and give practical strategies to support SEN and care about their sector and want to share their passion. Highly recommended study material. :-)

This course is really comprehensive - it covers so many topics and themes. I really thought that the way the course is set out is very easy to use. You have the option to print out the course work or work online and the end of module worksheets are great for ensuring that you understand everything by filling in the blanks, answering questions about the topic and so on, you can even revisit modules.
I have only needed to contact support once but the reply was quick and concise.
I am really enjoying the course and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone thinking of or already working in the Office Management field.

Anna Burns

Great value course that is very easy to use and full of great content. I learned a lot from it and will now be signing up for other courses.
Thanks New Skills Academy

John Beavan

This is a fantastic course, it is incredible value for money and it will give you all the information you need to be able to pursue the career of Teaching Assistant.

Being able to do it all in your own time makes it a lot less stressful if you're trying to fit it around work and life in general and the addition of worksheets throughout helps you see which areas need improvement before you take the final test.

Jack Whitcher

Thoroughly enjoying this course. It's great that I can study at my own pace with no time restrictions so I can do a little or a lot each time depending on what time I have available.

So much useful information I will be able to apply not only to landscaping specifically but also to business in general & day to day gardening both personally & professionally.

The chapters are easy to follow, the estimated time helps schedule your time appropriately & the questions at the end of each chapter make sure you have understood correctly.

Highly recommended!

Lauren Spice

I found the course very useful and it was fairly easy to navigate around the website. The course material was good and easy to understand and I am glad that I passed my test.

I learned so much as I am currently doing my CEMAP Mortgage Adviser qualification and thought that doing an Estate Agency Diploma would help me know the basics about selling and letting properties.

I feel so much more confident after doing the course and encourage anyone who wants a career in Estate Agency to do this course as you will learn so much from it.
Thank you New Skills Academy!
