About This Course
Most hiring fails before the interview starts — not because the interviewer could not read people, but because nobody defined the job, set the criteria, or agreed on what evidence would count. This course teaches hiring as a discipline: define the job in outcomes before you meet anyone, build the scorecard before you see a candidate, and run a structured, lawful interview in which every candidate faces the same core questions and is judged on evidence from the interview itself. You will learn to ask questions that reveal the work — what a candidate has actually done and what they would do in the job's real situations — to listen more than you talk, to take notes that record evidence instead of impressions, and to score, debrief, and decide from the record rather than from memory or chemistry. And you will learn to close the process the way you opened it: sell the role honestly, make the offer cleanly, and give every unsuccessful candidate a fair, prompt no. The course teaches lawful interviewing only throughout: job-related questions and criteria, applied consistently to every candidate.
