As a leading life sciences recruitment agency, we at Agenda Life Sciences recognise the importance of thorough and effective recruitment practices. That’s why we’ve developed our ‘Hire Me’ Training Courses, which are designed to provide essential skills for HR officers, managers, and security personnel tasked with the responsibility of hiring and protecting their organisations from potential threats. Ensuring that you hire the right people is more important than ever, and our courses can help you achieve just that.
Agenda’s ‘Hire Me! What could go wrong?’ is a comprehensive series of interactive workshops designed to enhance your current recruitment methods. The program reflects the changing landscape of hiring, including updated regulations, case studies, and best practices. It consists of three one-day courses, which can be taken individually or as part of an intensive three-day programme. Each course has been awarded the prestigious Cogent Skills Gold Standard and has been successfully implemented in renowned research institutions, such as the MRC.
Here’s a breakdown of what each module entails:
The first module focuses on helping participants identify potential hiring risks. Through hands-on exercises, you will learn to spot red flags in CVs, applications, and identity documents. You will also explore the best practices for pre-employment screening and validating candidates. This course is perfect for those looking to strengthen their ability to detect risks before they become issues, ensuring that the hiring process remains secure.
Mastering the interview process is crucial to finding the right fit for your team. This module offers advanced interviewing techniques, including the PEACE method and Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) strategies. It also covers various probing and values-based questioning methods. Participants will practice reading non-verbal cues and body language, which ensures they are equipped to make more informed hiring decisions. Role-playing and case-study scenarios are incorporated, allowing attendees to then apply these skills in real-world settings.
Managing internal risks is just as important as selecting the right candidates. The third module addresses social engineering tactics and insider threats, helping to identify potential security risks from within. You’ll learn how to assess values and expected behaviours, deal with whistleblowers, and manage probationary reviews more effectively. By the end of this session, participants will have a greater awareness of security and the tools to combat insider threats.
