Staff involved in recruitment and selection processes

Even experienced managers and supervisors need training to update their knowledge regarding the organisation’s policies and procedures, and to ensure they comply with current legal requirements.
Staff involved in the recruitment process benefit from ongoing training in:
- job analysis
- writing job descriptions
- preparing advertisements.
Training in these areas helps to minimise costs by ensuring that only those applicants who meet the key selection criteria are targeted.
Training for those involved in the selection and recruitment process usually involves classroom training and off-the-job training .
