Selection and placement of staff
Training overview
Purpose of the training
Introducing participants to the essence of the latest methods of selecting and placing staff, the application of which makes it possible to obtain high-quality personnel decisions with a probability greater than 90%. Building the capacity to solve complex and demanding problems in this subject area, which is generally insufficiently studied and applied.
Who the training is for
HR managers, HR specialists, directors and owners who want to take part in selecting their staff, and senior and middle managers; professional consultants and individuals who wish, regardless of their profession, to gain essential knowledge in the selection and placement of staff.
How the training is delivered
An agreed schedule, plenary lectures, work with teams and pairs, individual explanations and individual assignments. Use of specialised software to obtain personal profiles. Depending on whether it is delivered in person or online, the working method is adapted to preserve the value of interaction with participants. The electronic materials also include assignments with instructions for work.
What is new compared with similar trainings
A thorough explanation of key concepts within one of the most modern selection processes. An introduction to a new model of human nature based on multiple intelligences, human virtues, the relational structure of personality and the assessment of a candidate’s dynamic intellectual strength. A presentation of instruments for detecting and profiling job and candidate requirements. The use of scientifically grounded tools to optimise the placement of employees across the available positions.
Benefits for participants
The capability to navigate the complex methodology of modern candidate selection. Gaining insight into ways of accurately profiling and comparing job requirements and candidates. Removing dilemmas related to the placement of staff.
Duration
In person, the training is organised as a two-day programme with a total of 2×7 hours of active work, with breaks for refreshments and lunch. The online training is delivered as evening blocks over two consecutive weeks, with a total of 18 hours of interactive work.
Training content
Defining job requirements, testing staff and optimising the placement of current people. Applying the most modern procedures and tools for the successful selection and placement of staff in organisations. Appropriate use of the Comprehensive Candidate Selection System (CCSS), which makes it possible to choose the most suitable people for the right positions with a probability of no less than 90%.
Of all managerial decisions, the poorest belong to the sphere of selecting and placing staff. This means that leaders, managers and specialists should give these problems exceptional attention. The greatest capital of any organisation today is human capital — the best people, with their useful knowledge, skills and experience, placed in the right positions. Frequently replacing “wrongly chosen staff” generates major lags in development and large hidden costs. How to reach the right people, how to select and place them in an efficient and reliable way, and how to predict their future behaviour are the main areas this training addresses.

Creating and aligning the vision, mission, business model, shared values and business policy of the company. Setting the general framework for the company’s development and the foundations for shaping the corresponding business strategies. Linking responsibility for implementing the development documents with the key organisational positions and governing bodies.
The question of the direction and course of a company’s development is one of the most important management questions. The best companies in the world set these aspects of management very well and use them to navigate the business, inspire employees and align the activities of all segments of the system. Very often, vision and mission statements lack the most important components for which those documents ought to exist. Business models are frequently undefined or poorly developed, while business policy does not cover the whole of operations or is reduced to “sporadic rules” tied to the lowest levels of management. A major problem is also the mutual misalignment of these management documents, which in itself creates great confusion. This training enables the managers of your company to master the methods and tools for creating and aligning the main management documents that steer development.
