Recruitment training and responsibilities

Recruitment training

Colleagues must complete the below required on-demand and self-paced training before taking part in any recruitment panel or promotion committee. Each course must be completed every two years. 

• Diversity in The Workplace
• Unconscious Bias
• Recruiting Colleagues at Manchester 

New Jobtrain users must complete this essential training and provide evidence of completing their mandatory Data Protection and Cyber Security training before being set up with a Jobtrain account

• An introduction to Jobtrain 

Recommended skills-focused development workshop for colleagues involved in recruitment

Alongside the mandatory training, we offer a recommended skills-focused development development opportunity for colleagues involved in recruitment: Focus On Recruitment.

• People Leader: Focus On Recruitment (workshop)

This workshop is designed to build confidence and practical skills in applying best-practice recruitment approaches, including:

• Effective shortlisting techniques
• Designing assessments
• Setting up and running interviews
• Practising interview techniques and approaches in a safe, supported environment

While optional, we strongly recommend this course for colleagues who are newer to recruitment, or those who would benefit from a more practice-based, skills-focused session to complement the mandatory digital learning.

Focus On Recruitment does not need to be refreshed.
