Interviewing Skills – Recruitment and Selection Training

Effective interviewing is essential for fair, consistent and legally compliant recruitment. This course explores how the Equality Act 2010 shapes modern selection processes and provides practical tools to help managers make confident, equitable decisions. Delegates learn how to prepare, structure and conduct interviews that bring out the best in candidates while avoiding bias and poor practice. The session is interactive, skills‑focused and designed to strengthen both competence and confidence in recruitment and selection.

In‑House vs Open Courses

In‑house courses are private sessions delivered exclusively for a group of people from your organisation, on a date that suits you, with the option to tailor the content to your staff and setting.

Open courses are public Equality and Diversity UK training dates that anyone can book onto, ideal when you only need training for one or two people.
