This 3-hour action planning workshop explores the legal pitfalls for employers to navigate, then rapidly moves on to share best practices to mitigate these and support SMEs in providing a gold standard ‘candidate experience’.
We explore the most effective attraction methods for SMEs, steps to attract a diverse pool of candidates. And how businesses build an ‘employer brand’ to achieve this. We then consider selection methods, and the smorgasbord of selection tools that employers can utilise to reduce their time to hire, and fill that vacancy.
This is a highly interactive workshop so expect lots of discussion and sharing of best practice ideas, as we bring a whole new light to recruiting and selecting in the 21st Century.
This interactive workshop is for SME business owners, line managers, HR professionals or indeed anyone that wishes to attract and recruit top talent.
Please note that this workshop is open to trading SMEs based in Derby, Derbyshire, Nottingham and Nottinghamshire. Businesses located outside of this area will be unable to attend and instead directed to alternative support.
