A bad hire rarely announces itself on day one - the cost shows up months later, in missed targets, team friction and the time it takes to start the search all over again. Recruitment and nomination sit at the entry point for every employee in an organisation, which means getting them right or wrong shapes whether workforce-related goals succeed at all. This training course from the Arab British Fellowship Training Academy covers the full span of that job, from the fundamentals through to advanced, strategic practice.

Participants work through the logical, correct steps for structuring and running nomination and selection in their own organisation, and finish with an assessment designed to lock in what they've learned so it transfers to the workplace rather than staying theoretical. The course also guides HR managers toward the tools and methods used for workforce planning across recruitment, interviews and nomination - helping organisations get more value out of the people they bring in.
