THE HIRING INTERVIEW
A FRAHAN LEGAL ACADEMY COURSE
Hands-on preparation for lawyers and HR managers to lead hiring interviews successfully.
The hiring interview is as much an exercise in “buying” (selecting the right candidates) as in “selling” (convincing them to join your organisation).
In a marketplace where potential employers are fighting to attract top legal talents, your hiring process must be high-performing. The hiring interview, in particular, must be a demonstration of top professionalism. This course will teach you how to achieve that.
Available in English, French and Dutch. The course may include simulation games with professional actors.
