Training: Overcoming Cognitive Biases in Recruitment
Training to unleash your recruiter superpower!
TRAINING
What if your recruitment process was screening out the most qualified talent!?
Recruiting isn't just about reading a resume: it's about making a strategic decision, one that's often biased without us realizing it. Traditional interviews are very poor predictors of candidates' future performance, because our brains often decide on instinct... while believing they're being rational!
What if you learned to decode these mechanisms? A day to understand your brain (and that of candidates), refine your practices, and reveal talent where others miss it. Efficiency, accuracy... and guaranteed fun!
WHY THIS TRAINING?
Recruitment is not just an art; it's also a science that drives innovation and company performance. Cognitive neuroscience shows that our traditional recruitment methods often lead to suboptimal choices.
Our cognitive biases, deeply rooted in how our brains work, lead to objectively poor, even random, hiring decisions. As a result, we often sideline the most competent talent, which, paradoxically, our companies need most to remain competitive.
This intensive bootcamp is aimed at anyone who wants to update their practices based on scientifically validated foundations. Together, we will dissect, with humor and kindness, the invisible mechanisms of our decisions to provide you with practical tools.
A PARTNERSHIP OF EXCELLENCE
This certified training is delivered in partnership with the École des Ponts Business School, on the Paris campus near Gare de Lyon.
