About the course

The Bar Council 'Fair recruitment and selection' training will help you to recruit fairly, consistently and in accordance with BSB guidelines. Most importantly, it will also help you to recruit successfully.

What the course covers

  • The principles of fair selection
  • Avoiding bias in selection
  • Developing and applying selection criteria consistently through the selection process
  • Shortlisting techniques
  • How to develop reliable and valid work sample tests
  • Competency-based interview techniques
  • Evaluation and making selection decisions
  • Opportunities to practise short listing and interview skills
     

Fair Recruitment and Selection training has been developed to help members of chambers meet rC110 of the BSB Handbook, which states that:

"Every member of all selection panels must be trained in fair recruitment and selection processes or to have studied the Bar Council's Fair Recruitment Guide. It is recommended that at least one panel member should attend an appropriate classroom course on the matter."
