Certificate in Recruitment & Selection - awarded by The Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD)
Recruitment consultancy

The recruitment consultant performs a key role as the interface between different sets of interests. The role involves dual responsibilities – to organisational clients on one hand and to individuals seeking a placement on the other. This course concentrates on reconciling the needs and interests of these different parties and the ways in which recruitment consultants interact with clients, HR managers and candidates throughout the entire recruitment process. In addition it identifies the techniques used by some of the recruitment industry's top performers.

The course is appropriate for anyone in a recruitment/HR role and anyone who uses the services of a recruitment agency.

It is particularly useful to existing recruitment consultants and those wishing to extend their understanding of recruitment practices to provide an internal service.
