Learning objectives :
- Writing a compelling job description
- Assess candidates using effective questions and relevant scenarios
- Identify and address any concerns before making your final decision
Course :
Session 1: Attracting the Right Candidate
It all starts before the first interview: a well-written job description attracts the right candidates and naturally filters out others. Participants learn to develop two complementary tools: the key elements of an effective job description, and the Scorecard, which makes the desired skills and behaviors tangible so that candidates can be evaluated objectively. The Scorecard also serves as a tracking tool throughout the process to avoid gaps in the decision-making process when it comes time for the final decision.
Case Study : Create a scorecard for a job opening by defining the priority skills, desired behaviors, and non-negotiable values.
Session 2: Selecting the Right Candidate
Once candidates have been identified, they still need to be properly evaluated. Participants will work on a set of targeted questions to assess skills and suitability for the position, relevant role-playing scenarios to test skills in real-world conditions, and techniques for quickly identifying areas of uncertainty and clarifying them by asking for concrete examples.
Case Study : Conduct an end-to-end recruitment process (job description, scorecard, questions, role-playing exercises) and handle the situation of an ideal candidate who is hesitating between several offers.
Session 3: Finalizing the Hiring Process
The hiring process doesn’t end with the signing of the contract. Participants learn how to ensure their choice is the right one by structuring the probationary period with clear objectives for everyone: shared criteria that allow for an assessment of the candidate’s actual suitability for the role and help avoid last-minute surprises.
Case Study : Define the objectives for a new hire’s probationary period, ensuring that they allow for the assessment of the skills and behaviors identified in the Scorecard.
