Best of the Bunch: The Recruitment and Selection Video (2009 Remake)

Synopsis
BEST OF THE BUNCH package is not just about how to interview, and is not just for the HR manager. It provides a step-by-step guide to the whole recruitment and selection process, from start to finish, for everyone involved. Drama scenes show good and bad practice, and expert commentary explains the key points. A systematic, criterion-based approach ensures good selection decisions and fairness for all candidates.

The DVD is divided into 10 sections: A vacancy exists ...; selection criteria; attracting applicants; shortlisting; preparing for interviews; how NOT to interview; the interview; additional selection methods; selection; monitoring performance. The CD-ROM contains a comprehensive printable training manual designed for use either by trainers or individual learners, training handouts and sample forms.
