Hiring decisions shape your team for years — yet many managers are expected to recruit confidently without ever being shown how.
This module gives you a clear, practical end-to-end approach to hiring — from defining the role properly, to interviewing with confidence, making fair and legal decisions, and onboarding new starters in a way that helps them stay and succeed.
You’ll move beyond gut feel and vague impressions, and learn how to build a hiring process that is structured, fair, legally sound, and genuinely effective. The focus is on real-world management — not HR jargon — so you can recruit confidently, avoid costly mistakes, and give new hires the best possible start.
Whether you’re recruiting occasionally or regularly, this module will help you make better hiring decisions and build stronger, more resilient teams.
