Effective recruitment and selection are crucial for the success of any organisation. Finding appropriate people for the roles required to meet your aims helps ensure that the workforce has the relevant skills, experience and potential necessary to meet the organisation’s goals.

Created by CIPD’s recruitment experts and CIPD associate, Lynn-Marie Kelly, the course provides a high-level overview of the key considerations in recruitment. We explore the primary elements of the recruitment process, including the questions to ask your people function, and/or the recruitment specialists you work with, to support them in delivering greater effectiveness.

It will help you to identify areas for further exploration and provide enough background and baseline knowledge and information to assist further learning in the topic.
