Notes:
This is a case study exercise that follows on from 'Perfect Fit'. It can be run using in-house policy and recruitment processes to re-enforce the learning.
The exercise can also be run as a stand-alone session.
To run this exercise, you will need a room that’s big enough for participants to work comfortably in groups, or a couple of ‘break-out’ rooms.
The module looks at best practice for short-listing. In it candidates look at documentation produced during the recruitment process, including the person specification, application form and short-listing forms. The modules will be useful to anyone involved in the recruitment process, including senior managers.
