Essential Recruitment Skills (ERS)

ERS rapidly increases the ability, performance and results of all levels of recruitment staff by teaching them the candidate management skills that top performing recruiters use to thrive in today's market.

Many clients expect their recruitment supplier to excel at rapidly locating, attracting, qualifying and presenting quality candidates. In short, they expect top suppliers to only present candidates who can do the job and produce the results required. ERS has been designed with these expectations and challenges in mind.

ERS teaches recruiters how to use a proven approach to their daily work. The content is fresh and dynamic, and reflects the challenges of today's market. ERS is highly interactive and hands on, with extensive use of real life scenarios and solutions that participants can relate to and apply immediately.

We teach a values based approach to dealing with candidates, where the emphasis is on taking action, results, professionalism, honesty and building mutually beneficial relationships.

Past participants have used the ideas covered in ERS to quickly improve their success at placing the right candidates in the right jobs.
