Building Skilled Trades Talent for Today’s Demands

Recruiting the right people is never easy, especially for smaller organisations without a dedicated HR team. This webcast will outline the challenges faced by organisations, drawing on real-life examples to show when the best of intentions can have disastrous consequences. We’ll explore a new way of identifying the underlying competencies and attributes needed for success in a job. With the help of Melanie Francis, Head of HR at The University of Oxford’s Saïd Business School, we’ll learn how this new approach has helped them to objectively assess and shortlist candidates against these criteria, using psychometric tools and structured interviews. Even if you have limited experience in this area, you’ll learn how you can achieve greater hiring success simply and cost-effectively.
