Description

As a Sales Leader, I believed that the selection and development of the best people to work as part of my team was the key to my own and the Organisation's success.

As human beings we are all influenced by unconscious bias when we recruit. Neuroscientists tell us one of strongest is called affinity bias - the fact that we all like people who are like us, so we recruit in our own self image rather than what is the best blend for the business! The cost of poor selection is prohibitive once we take into account recruitment costs, training and development and pipeline build up before sales flow.

Behavioural profiling combined with a competency-based interview based and role plays to test out key skills is a perfect combination according to the CIPD. Relying on a CV style interview just won't provide the insights you need!
