In our experience, most managers are in the job because of their skill or knowledge in a certain area, not because they are professional recruiters.
Yes, they may have been on courses and understand the basic interviewing techniques, but frequently the assistance of a professional interviewer working to an agreed objective provides the manager with an external viewpoint and a structure that will lead to better recruitment decisions:
- With Latham leading the interview, the line manager has more time to listen to what the candidate is saying.
- Suitable for existing employees or external candidates, our structured approach to interviewing takes the pressure off the manager.
When linked to job and person specifications, competency-based interviewing provides better evidence of a job seeker's suitability for a position, whilst at the same time documenting decisions made.
