Many PR consultants who take on recruitment responsibilities have not had interview training. To address this issue, The Works will shortly be launching interview workshops for consultancies and in-house teams wanting to improve the effectiveness of the job interviews they conduct.

Aimed at giving clients a better understanding of where interviews fit in the selection process, the workshops will also include:

• How to structure interviews
• The importance of objectivity
• Do’s and Don’ts of interview questioning
• The importance of providing feedback
• How to get the best out of your interviewee and;
• How to best represent yourself and your company.

“The workshops provide a blue-print for how to find the best person for the job”, says Sarah Leembruggen, The Works’ Managing Partner.

Each half-day workshop is bespoke, designed for up to twelve people and delivered at the organisations own premises.

The workshops are partly in response to the Works’ recent survey, in which 88% of PR and communications professionals polled believed that interviewers would benefit from interview training to improve the process.
