# Interviewing skills

From job application to coaching conversation

Conducting interviews is an art and a science. You must not only ask the right questions, but also understand the answers on a deeper level. An inadequate interview technique can lead to wrong hires, which can be a costly mistake. So we do not just map out the technical competencies of the candidates, but we also gauge their values, attitudes and soft skills.

### Job interview

In this workshop, as an HR professional, you develop the skills to conduct a successful and in-depth interview. You develop conversation techniques, probing techniques, coaching techniques and learn to work with meta-communication and meta-cognition.

### Programme

- **Body language**: Understand and use body language to promote open and honest communication.
- **Conversation techniques**: Techniques to guide the conversation and obtain important information.
- **Coaching techniques**: Methods to create a supportive and challenging environment.
- **Probing techniques**: Learn how to dig deeper to discover the true competencies, attitudes and work ethic of a candidate.
- **Meta-communication and meta-cognition**: Understand the thought process of your candidate and communicate on a deeper level.

### Experience-oriented learning at The House of Coaching
