The purpose of recruitment interviews is to find the best match candidate. However, general questions illicit general answers. Close-ended questions illicit model answers. Just how can an interviewer apply tried and tested questioning techniques to obtain relevant evidence from the candidate within one hour of an interview?
Established techniques such as competency-based, behavioural-based and scenario-based questioning approaches will be shared in this workshop. Using a training video, participants will be able to recognise the benefits of well designed structured interview questions. Class exercise and case practice will equip participants to develop the right questions to ask and know how to ask it confidently.
“I have gained knowledge of formulating
questions to ask during interviews.”
- Ms Shen Mingming Jessie, HR Executive,
Ministry of Environment and Water Resources
In addition, participants will also be familiarized with the Tripartite Guidelines on Fair Employment Practices in order to understand what constitute discriminating practices of recruitment.
