Diagnosing Candidate Quality Problems
Everyone talks about candidate quality, but few organisations stop to define what it actually means. When hiring outcomes fall short, it's easy to blame sourcing, candidate pipelines, or recruiter performance. In reality, quality issues often begin much earlier, with unclear success criteria, misaligned stakeholder expectations, ineffective screening, or assessments that fail to measure what really matters.
This course will help you cut through assumptions and diagnose hiring quality with confidence. You'll learn how to define quality based on evidence, identify where problems are occurring across the recruitment process, and focus improvement efforts where they'll have the greatest impact, leading to stronger hiring decisions and better business outcomes.
