Performance-Based Hiring Workshop
​
This workshop equips managers with the tools to implement a structured, data-driven approach to hiring, ensuring the selection of high-performing candidates. Participants will learn to identify critical job requirements through a detailed job-needs analysis, develop effective interview strategies to assess skills under time constraints, and utilise scenario-based discussions to evaluate problem-solving capabilities. The workshop also introduces the design and implementation of a probation-based assessment framework, enabling managers to make informed decisions about candidates' long-term performance potential. By blending analytical rigor with practical tools, this workshop addresses common challenges in recruitment, such as bias, unclear expectations, and limited evaluation time, empowering managers to select candidates who meet and exceed role expectations.
Topics Covered
​
Job-Needs Analysis for Performance-Based Hiring
Participants will learn how to define job roles by conducting a thorough needs analysis focused on required skills, experience, and measurable outcomes. This module teaches managers how to identify and prioritise the core competencies necessary for success in the role. This module ensures that managers understand the connection between job requirements and desired performance outcomes, laying a solid foundation for the hiring process.

Skill Assessment in Time-Constrained Interviews
This module focuses on strategies to assess candidates' skills and capabilities effectively within the constraints of a standard interview. Managers will learn how to structure competency-based questions, develop objective scoring matrices, and analyse candidate responses efficiently.  By the end of this module, participants will be able to evaluate technical and soft skills systematically.

Scenario-Based Candidate Evaluation
In this module, participants will explore the use of real-world scenarios to assess candidates' decision-making, problem-solving, and adaptability. Managers will learn how to design scenario-based questions that reflect job challenges and analyse candidate responses for critical competencies. 

Designing a Probation-Based Assessment Framework
Participants will be introduced to the principles of probation-based assessment, where new hires are evaluated through structured performance metrics during their initial months of employment. This module covers the design of key performance indicators (KPIs), goal-setting techniques, and feedback mechanisms. Managers will develop assessment frameworks tailored to specific roles, ensuring that probation periods are used effectively to determine candidates' long-term suitability and potential for growth within the organisation.

Metrics and Analytics in Hiring Decisions
This module provides managers with tools to implement a data-driven approach to hiring decisions. Participants will learn how to track, measure, and interpret key hiring metrics such as interview scores, candidate fit, and probation performance outcomes. Practical exercises will demonstrate how analytics can be used to identify patterns, reduce bias, and optimise the hiring process. By the end of this module, managers will be equipped to make objective, evidence-based hiring decisions that align with organisational performance goals.
