2. GETTING OFF TO THE RIGHT START
Very few would argue that getting your new consultants off on the right foot can make
everything that follows a more successful experience for all involved.
No matter how large or small your organisation, each person's attitudes about the company,
the induction, training process, the management team, and other employees will contribute to
the corporate culture that your new consultant will be exposed to.
A good solid induction and training program can avoid your new consultant from feeling
overwhelmed and under qualified to do the many tasks that today’s modern recruiter can
juggle with ease.

THE RECRUITERS FOUNDATION COURSE
COURSE OVERVIEW
‘The Recruiters Foundation Course’ has been designed to equip new employees with the basic
skills necessary to become a Recruitment Consultant.
It is a competency based, flexible learning program, comprising of theoretical modules for the
consultant to complete on their own and practical exercises to complete with a trainer or
manager.
As the units are designed to give the consultants an opportunity to practice the skills they have
learnt before moving on to the next topic, we would recommend pacing them over a 12 week
period. This will enable you to utilise the course assessments to form part of the probationary
review process.
