"Dismissal is often about weeding out people who sound great at interview but disappoint when hired"
Nick Prescot, co-founder Supper Club Presents, Financial Times May 2008
When asked recently why she'd come on a course, a senior Personnel Manager's honest response was "sometimes I'm interviewing all day - I often get it wrong - interviewing is a difficult task".
What does it cost when we do get it wrong? As well as the cash costs there are many hidden costs - time wasted (cost) - morale within the organisation (cost) - customer relationships (big cost) often jeapordised.
Why is it then that that we take the recruitment task so lightly. Why do organisations not give all their managers training - in interview techniques - in structured recruitment process?
You can save so much time and money by getting it right first time!
