The average cost of replacing a professional employee is around US$ 20,000 without even taking into account the damage an underperforming employee can do to the organisation’s image and brand!

Too frequently, organisations rely exclusively on the time honoured method of an unstructured interview, which evidence shows us, is one of the least effective methods to select staff. This four day programme looks at how to combine the most effective tools into a comprehensive assessment centre. This can significantly improve selection process to ensure that poor recruitment decisions are eliminated.
