Course outline

In an effort to provide you with as much value as possible, we’re going to show you how to deliver the key sections of this training course.

Recruitment – For many people, engaging in a recruitment process for the first time comes with a feeling of being overcome. And, this is natural. In truth, it’s time to consider what’s involved (e.g., job analysis skills). Take time to focus on what is essential to your audience and this will provide them with the most value. The primary reason for spending time on the content in this section is that it will allow you to explore areas like the selection decision, reliability, validity, and biases in selection.

The recruitment process – Recruitment can be stressful, especially if a company doesn’t have an effective recruitment process. But, you can use the content to help your audience to simply engage in these activities. Now that you’ve taken the time, follow the course material to present the following simple recruitment process:

– Job analysis
– Source candidates
– The recruitment interview
– Types of interview questions
– Identifying skills
– Psychometric testing
– Reference checking
– Making an offer

How to measure recruitment – This section focuses on measuring the effectiveness of all recruitment efforts. And, focusing on measurement is one of the most important factors when it comes to engagement within this training course. But let’s be realistic – not every company believes that they have the time or resources to measure their recruitment initiatives. Nor do they always want to.

But the importance of measurement will become apparent to your audience as they progress through your course and as they explore the equations we share within the content.

In particular, we’ve learned that the really smart companies include measurements like hit rate, hire ratio, and quality of hire so that they can reap the rewards. They also include a variety of measurement techniques, from interview time and source cost per hire ratios. Ask your audience also to consider specific examples of calculating interviewing cost and recruiter effectiveness.

Every company is unique. So we’ve also included information on how to measure source cost per hire per interview.

Do note that if anyone tells you that measuring recruitment isn’t essential, they’re simply wrong – and probably are still pursuing costings which most successful companies have stopped using years ago. This is something we frequently hear from clients with human resource management training needs.

Be sure to tell your audience not to use recruitment measurements in isolation. They should be used to drive even more excellent results.

In truth, understanding these measurement techniques is fundamental to make any recruitment and selection process successful.

And, please don’t discount the need for practical examples in this course. Above all, your audience will need space and time to understand these measurement techniques. If you need to, you should add a company or industry-specific examples. Specific measurement tools discussed include:

– Hit rate
– Hire ratio
– Quality of hire
– Interview time
– Source cost per hire ratios
– Interviewing cost
– Recruiter effectiveness
– Source cost per hire per interview
