Interviewing techniques

Each Hays recruitment consultant conducts hundreds of face-to-face candidate interviews per year. Through this process we have assembled a wealth of information and feedback from candidates on their interview experiences. This includes a library of challenging questions, innovative techniques, and best practices. We have taken this knowledge and designed a session where we can share this knowledge with you. 

This seminar is offered for a nominal fee. However, if you are referred to our seminar by a Hays employee, the first attendee from your organization is free. Contact your local Hays office or call 1-866-420-HAYS for more details, and to enroll in one of these sessions. You can also email seminars@hays.ca .
