Why Interviewing Skills Matter
Great hiring decisions shape performance, culture, and retention. A well run interview protects time, reduces costly mis hires, and improves candidate experience. When you use a clear structure and objective scoring, you make better decisions and build trust in the process across your organisation.
What’s Covered on this Course?
This hands on one day workshop gives you practical tools to plan, run, and evaluate interviews with confidence. You will learn how to prepare a role focused interview, ask stronger questions, and reach fair, evidence based decisions.
Participants will:
-
Define what “good” looks like using role outcomes, competencies, and behaviours
-
Build an interview guide with structured questions and consistent scoring
-
Use behavioural and situational questions to uncover real capability
-
Practise probing and follow up techniques to move beyond rehearsed answers
-
Improve note taking and documentation to support defensible decisions
Interviewing Techniques
Through guided exercises, you will design structured interviews, apply competency based questioning, and practise evaluation methods that reduce subjectivity. Learn best practice for clarity using scoring rubrics, panel alignment, and consistent evidence gathering, so every candidate is assessed fairly and reliably.
