Interviewer skills training for groups and one-to-one
My training course for interview board/panel members is about understanding what interviewers are trying to achieve in an interview and how to go about doing that. I have trained thousands of interviewers in the public sector, in line with the Commission for Public Service Appointment's (CPSA) Code of Practice for Appointment to Positions in the Civil Service & Public Service and relevant legislation. The agenda includes:
Some attend this training because they have been asked to be part of a public sector interview panel for the first time. Others attend because it has been a while since they had last interviewed. Other interviewers want a re-fresher as some time has passed since they have done their interviewer training or their organisation mandates that all interviewers must have attended training. I deliver this course to groups through in-person training in client organisations and through online training using Zoom, Teams and WebEx. I also deliver this Interviewer Skills course on behalf of Public Affairs Ireland. I also train interviewers on a one-to-one basis. This suits some interviewers better than attending a training course. Some interviewers have worked with me this way because the timings for the course didn't suit their requirements. Others have worked with me this way because they preferred working one to one rather than being in a group on a training course. Working on a one-to-one basis allowed us to focus in on exactly what they needed to know and we were able to concentrate on the interview they were preparing for. Helping your organisation's recruitment teams I work with HR and hiring managers to develop and refine job descriptions and to improve application form design and questions. I also consult with public sector organisations to review their interview process, working with them to refine and improve that process. FREE resource to help you with your interviewing

After this training, I am feeling more confident about being a member of the interview board next week. Thank you for your time, effort and professionalism in helping achieve an excellent result during our recent interviews. Excellent days training, would highly recommend it. Excellent insight into both sides of the interview table. Met all my expectations for an interview skills update. Issues were discussed in a tangible example-led way. Tina is knowledgeable, instructive and inclusive. An absolute pleasure working with you and thanks so much for all your help and guidance. Very informative and engaging training course. The most useful part was about preparing competency-based questions and how to follow up with probing questions. |
