JRK Consultants have been running and developing a Competency Based Selection Interviewing Skills Workshop for managers and interviewers that develops the skills of being able to select the best candidates in a way that is effective, efficient and fair.

Our approach succeeds because:

• It is based upon delegates using a Competency Based Model, as recommended by current Employment Tribunal decisions, to identify the skills, knowledge and abilities of candidates.
• The workshop is run with a delegate to tutor ratio of 10:2. This ensures delegates get substantial and useful feedback on their interviewing and interpersonal skills.
• Video feedback is used for analysing and reviewing the skills used.
• We use real volunteer interviewees. Typically, these are undergraduates and Doctoral students in appropriate disciplines, from the Universities you think are most appropriate for your areas of work.
• We only use expert tutors with real experience of both Facilitation and Selection Interviewing.

Workshop Content
We follow principles associated with Adult Learners - by incorporating all stages of the learning cycle to encourage learning and retention.
The workshop will cover:

• an overview of the whole recruitment cycle and how diversity fits in.
• the legal framework within which recruitment and selection operates
• the basics of job/task analysis and person specifications. Delegates will have the opportunity to practice writing non-discriminatory versions for themselves.
• competency frameworks - what they are and how to use them for selection. (In-house competency frameworks can be used to re-inforce their value and ease familiarisation for interviewers)
• assessment techniques and record keeping
• the interview - how to plan, prepare and conduct a successful interview.Feedback will be given on the interviewing, provided by the tutor using video feedback

Options:
*The workshop is an intensive three-day workshop. Each workshop is limited to ten delegates, to maximise the learning, and is facilitated by two experienced tutors.
*If required, we can arrange for additional days with one of our associated Occupational Psychologists who can explain the principles and practice of psychometric assessment and the design of assessment centres.
*JRK Consultants can also carry out an audit of your current recruitment practices and present a report, with recommendations for action detailing good practices and areas for improvement.
*The workshop is suitable for anyone who is involved in the selection process
*All delegates are provided with detailed workshop notes, relevant articles and information on good practice.
