An ageing population, the increase of globalisation
and continuing economic uncertainty, mean that organisations have to think differently
about the way they attract and retain the talent they have in order to maintain
competitive advantage. So now more than ever it is crucial to develop recruitment
and retention strategies that have a demonstrable impact on organisational success. The Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development
- Certificate in Recruitment and Selection takes a skill-based approach and provides
practical and authoritative guidance on how to formulate and implement best practice
within the context of today's challenging workplace. The
Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development - Certificate in Recruitment
and Selection is a foundation-level standard, at an equivalent level to NVQ/SVQ
Level 3.
The CIPD Certificate in Recruitment
and Selection is specifically designed for personnel and development practitioners,
for recruitment agency consultants who wish to further their careers with a professional
qualification, and line managers who have responsibility for recruitment. Recruiters
