Course architecture
Block 1 - The strategic role of managers in the recruitment process
Too often, recruitment is perceived as an isolated HR issue, whereas each manager has a decisive impact on the candidate experience and the quality of decisions. This module is designed to enhance their role and reinforce their ability to turn the interview into a genuine strategic lever.
- Clarify the manager's contribution to the selection process
- Understand the impact of the interview on the candidate experience
- Acquire an accurate reading grid to assess know-how and interpersonal skills during interviews.
- Avoid the most common pitfalls (bias, inaccuracies, impressions)
Block 2 - Interview techniques: conducting interviews that reveal candidates' true potential
A successful interview is based on the ability to structure a revealing exchange. This module provides the keys to preparing and conducting an interview that is both rigorous and humane, capable of assessing both technical and relational skills, while reducing unconscious bias.
- Prepare the interview to align job expectations with the profile sought
- Structure the interview process to establish a clear, coherent and fluid framework for exchange.
- Asking relevant questions to bring out knowledge, know-how and interpersonal skills in real-life situations.
- Identify and limit evaluation biases to reinforce the objectivity and fairness of the selection process.
Block 3 - Collaboration between managers and recruiters: co-constructing recruitment decisions
Successful recruitment? It's played out upstream of the posting, from the very first discussions between manager and recruiter, and is validated long after the interview. There's no room for improvisation or misunderstandings: shared criteria, clear intentions, a structured approach, honest feedback and two-way decision-making make all the difference. When this collaboration works, it's no longer a “process”, but a strategic lever for stronger teams and retained talent.
- Establish clear, measurable and useful criteria at every stage of the selection process.
- Master best practices for providing constructive feedback at all times
Optimize the decision-making process through concerted discussions to avoid hasty and subjective decisions
