Description Centennial College's Recruitment and Selection course will teach you how to effectively attract and choose the right job candidates, whether externally or internally, to ensure the organization can fulfill its mandate.

The essential step of effective recruitment and selection makes a tremendous contribution to the overall performance of an organization and to the welfare of its individual members. As such, you will learn to design and implement efficient and valuable recruitment and selection strategies to ensure organizations ultimately have the right number of people, in the right areas, at the right time, to help attain their operational and strategic goals in a way that is compliant with legal, professional and ethical standards.

Recruitment and Selection will see you partake in many practical activities that will prepare you for your role in the field. Among these activities will be reviewing legislation relevant to the recruitment and selection process, creating a resume, cover letter and other devises used in response to recruitment, and having them assessed; conducting and preparing a job analysis and using a competency model; and assuming the role of a staffing specialist, and administering interview and other selection instruments in a mock situation.
