Missions in this Learning Path
The most critical soft skill we can have in our arsenal as recruiters is the capability of Interviewing and assessing candidates, getting evidence that they meet or don't meet our hiring criteria, so that we can empower our Hiring Managers in making the best hiring decision. Hiring Managers want speed and quality from us in Recruiting. This means we must effectively screen candidates, lead the interviewing strategy and process, add value as a capable interviewer, and lead during decision-time so that we're making evidence-based recruiting decisions. In tandem with our Talent Advisor program with John Vlastelica, John will bring you through the Basic Formula for interviewing, how to get evidence of past and present behaviour to predict future performance, validate achievements and a candidate's job fit.
Simon Haigh, the growth strategist, will show you how to adjust your interview process to ensure it is aligned with hiring the right candidates, with the right attributes to build and sustain a cohesive and inclusive growth culture. In this mission, learn about the key personal attributes necessary to build cohesive and inclusive growth, and how to assess for them at the interview stage.
Not only is storytelling a hot business topic right now, it's one of the hidden difference-maker skills that makes us successful in our careers and our personal lives - the ability to persuade and sell information and a point of view using a technique that enables all of those around us to understand us better. The art of Storytelling is uniquely the most compelling, memorable, and effective mode of delivering important information, but not all of us know how to do it well. In this program, you'll learn the seven types of stories that all of us must tell in our daily lives as recruiters, and the simple structure that every story follows that captures the imagination and attention of our stakeholders.
