Description

In this course I'll explain why traditional interviews fail to hire the right people and explain what we should be doing instead. Asking standardised questions such as 'why do you want this job?' and 'what's your biggest strength?' allows people to prepare answers. You end up hiring the people who are best at selling themselves rather than the person who's right for the job.With some interesting background theory in linguistics and psychology, I'll dive into ways to ask smarter questions and how to have a more open and honest conversation with candidates.  I'll teach you what to look for in a candidate, how to structure an interview and how to spot red-flags in candidates' responses. This course is suitable for anyone who is hiring people into a team/ company and isn't sector specific. It's short, snappy and to the point. It's also based on years of real-life experience - no AI nonsense was used in the creation of this course.Course Content:Video 1- Introduction - the top 5 interview questions we need to stop asking and whyVideo 2 - What to look for in a candidate Video 3 - Assessing Skills - how to check a candidate can do what they say they can doVideo 4 - Hiring the Right Fit for the Role - how to assess a candidate's personality and willingness to workVideo 5 - Interview Structure - what to do and when, how to rate  and compare candidates, and what red flags to look our forA FREE, fully customisable interview template is provided with this course.
