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.

As the Head of HR, I always have to keep up to date on all law. This course was brilliant and helped me brush up on some areas I hadn’t worked on for some time. Really great value and also very user friendly – brilliant purchase!

For me personally, I have a Masters in HR Management and I love to keep developing and learning and this course was a brilliant way to satisfy my hunger for learning but I could also fit it in with my full time role – win win!

Another positive edition to anyone’s CV – would recommend to anyone even if you are just curious about your employee rights!

After much searching, I stumbled across this online course which sounded perfect for what I wanted and was available at a very affordable cost. This is the first time I have taken an online course, so wasn’t sure what to expect or if my money was going to be well spent.

The course is great, it was very easy to follow with simple, clear instructions and the additional use of video demonstrations that I found extremely helpful. It was handy to be able to print off all the course modules to keep for future reference and nice to receive a certificate upon completion.

Whilst I will probably never have a career as nail technician, I have gained what I wanted from this course, lots of knowledge and new confidence to do manicures/pedicures on both myself, friends & family.

Janice Waterman

Amazing course, great for people that never have time to go to college or evening classes. So easy to complete online and step by step instructions to help you. Will definitely be doing another course after this.

I’m starting my own business and this course will help me get started as it states all the things I need to know and to be aware of. I can’t wait until I have completed this as this will be a new chapter in my life. You have no time limit on this course which is great as I have a very busy life but this course gives you no pressure.

Would recommend this to anyone.

Megan Atkins

My son has Aspergers Syndrome, so when this course Autism Awareness Diploma came up with 90% off just after Christmas, I thought I would like to do it. There was no pressure on myself and progressed at my own pace, the course is very informative with lots of hints and tips. The process of going through the Modules and assignments was also very easy to do. The cost of the course was expensive if I hadn't had 90% off. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending New Skills Academy courses to other people for their informative and ease of usage. I really enjoyed it.

Dawn Hughes

I have always wanted to do hairdressing but never had the confidence. Since taking this course it has given me the chance I wanted and boosted my confidence.

There is lots of information and videos and you can always re-cap if needed.

Chris Peel

This online course gave me the opportunity to plan my study time around the rest of my day, instead of the other way around. I was able to study and work when I was at my peak energy, whether that’s early morning or late at night.

The course material was always accessible online, so there was no need to schedule special trips to a library either. It makes a good option for everyone who needs to keep the balance between their work and family commitments.

Simple and understandable language. I really recommend to anyone who would like to improve qualifications.
