Tutor: Keith Harper  CPD Hours: TBC  Duration: TBC

Course Cost: £1195

People are of course at the very heart of professional service organisations. Law firms rely on individuals to make them successful, and place a great deal of trust in them. Making recruitment mistakes can be extremely costly, as a great deal is invested in the recruitment process as well as the salary of the individual once they are engaged.

This course will help those with responsibility for recruitment within their firms to analyse their needs at a strategic level, and understand the nature of the people they want, not only in terms of technical ability but also with regard to how to concentrate and develop the culture of the firm. Participants will then be enabled to audit and adapt job specifications and interviewing procedures and make decisions to use the most appropriate recruitment and testing methods for their firm.

This course will help you to resolve these typical business problems:

• Making costly recruitment mistakes.
• A failure to properly specify recruitment requirements.
• A lack of objectivity in the recruitment process.
• Ineffective selection methods.
• Ineffective usage of criteria/competency based interviewing.

 This course on developing an effective recruitment strategy will give you a clear view of the strategic recruitment requirements for your firm/team and the skills to select the right people.

By the end of this course you will be able to:

• Thoroughly review your existing recruitment policies and their effectiveness.
• Create a plan for future recruitment requirements based on business plan objectives and the need for succession planning.
• Create relevant job specifications and descriptions.
• Use a range of selection tools effectively and appropriately.
• Design and conduct criteria/competency based interviews.
