Intercultural Interviews
Course Overview
Companies today face intercultural challenges in how they recruit, manage and develop a multi-cultural staff. One area of note where HR and management are finding difficulties is in the interview room.
Recruiting from a pool of candidates of different nationalities, cultures and faiths, the interview is an area that must be analysed properly if recruiters wish to capitalize on the potential employees available them. This is vital to ensure that candidates in intercultural interviews are not discriminated against through misperceptions and poor judgements.
Course Objectives
Having completed this course, attendees should be able to:
- Understand the impact of culture on interviewing and hiring
- Identify and use the tools and techniques for interviewing people of different cultures effectively
- Use the right kinds of communication styles to suit interviewees
- Learn and use a specific step-by-step process for interviewing that eliminates mistakes
- Develop an action plan for their growth and development as interviewers
Essentially by the end of this course, participants will understand how to negate the negative impact of cross-cultural misunderstandings in the interviewing procedure. They will know how to interview skilfully, detect culturally-biased reactions and use strategies that will lead to hiring the best person for the position.
