From graduate surveys

What graduates say about the Competency-Based Interviewing course

It helped me pick the best candidates more accurately, run more meaningful interviews and focus on exactly the candidates who meet the hiring manager’s requirements.

I’m very grateful for the course.

The lessons taught me different interviewing methods and added new questions to my toolkit. It was interesting to watch candidates react — clearly hearing such questions for the first time. That’s what helped me get to the heart of things.

Reviews come from the surveys graduates fill in when they receive their diploma.
