ELEARNING CONTENT FOR EVERYONE

Expertly crafted content, exceptional value

There’s a strong business case for getting the recruitment process right. First time. In this course learners get practical guidance on attracting and recruiting the very best people using the university’s recruitment and selection processes.

An ongoing, interactive video case study asks learners to make decisions about a simulated HE recruitment requirement illustrating the importance of equality and diversity.

In addition a series of ‘vox pop’ video interviews with real University staff focus on key areas: challenges; training; diversity; best practice; panel selection; unconscious bias and keys to success.

Course duration: this course should take around 30 minutes to complete.

By the end of this course you will be able to:

Describe the key elements of the recruitment process

Explain the legal context in relation to recruitment and selection

Write effective job descriptions, person specifications and job adverts

Explain how to set and use selection criteria for shortlisting and choosing the best candidate

Use fair and effective interview techniques

Avoid common pitfalls in the recruitment process

Explain how to embed equality and diversity in the recruitment process

Explain how to reduce unconscious bias in the recruitment process
