Why should someone attend?

The workshop equips attendees with the key skills to effectively and ethically interview candidates in an objective assessment setting. Attendees will learn how to record and evaluate interview observations and align interviews with organisational competency frameworks. Internal expertise in assessment reduces dependence on external providers and demonstrates a commitment to organisational adherence to best practice in talent management.
