Event Details

We’ve been sitting on a secret here at APSCo Australia, and we think you’re going to love this.

The Complete Recruiter Training Program is coming: a brand new 8-module training program exclusively available to APSCo Members as part of their annual membership subscription.

Designed to establish new recruiters into consistent, high performing work patterns, or refresh experienced recruiters with important reminders on process, mindset and behaviour, this program has been specifically curated alongside 2 of the market’s well-known coaching and training faces.

As part of our Talking Heads webinar, attendees will meet the trainers behind the program, Sophie Robertson and Russell Webb.

Moderated by APSCo MD, Lesley Horsburgh, Sophie and Russell will discuss why people development is an integral part of any successful business strategy and why aligning the right skill set to the right desk is critical. Attendees will also have the chance to hear more detail about the upcoming Complete Recruiter Training Program.

APSCo Australia’s Complete Recruiter Training Program will launch the first of its eight modules on March 27th with How to be successful in the recruitment industry.

Modules will then be released every two weeks, with a short exam after each. Students that complete the full program qualify for a certificate of attainment.

Modules will focus on the essential skills required of any complete recruiter:

Session 1: How to be successful in the recruitment industry

Session 2: Building Your Market Through Candidates

Session 3: Introduction to Business Development

Session 4: Relationship building with clients 

Session 5: Taking an Effective Job Brief
