Recruitment and selection skills for Coloplast line managers

Coloplast Limited develops, manufactures and markets medical devices and services to improve the quality of life for the users of its products. It is part of Coloplast A/S, a worldwide provider of quality and innovative healthcare products and services. Founded in 1957, it now has more than 7,000 employees worldwide.

Informed Assessment was invited by Coloplast Limited to help further improve the quality of recruitment and selection within the business, by running a series of workshops for all managers involved in recruitment.

Informed Assessment's role involved the design and delivery of a series of one-day workshops for line managers with responsibility for recruitment. The workshops were aimed at a cross-section of managers, covering a range of functional areas and experience of recruitment and selection.

The delivery of the workshops was timed to support the implementation of a new recruitment and selection process within the business by helping to ensure that managers were clear about their role and responsibilities within the new process.

In addition, the workshops were designed to raise awareness of the key legal issues relating to recruitment and selection; to communicate the key skills required to interview effectively; and to provide opportunities for skills development in this area.

Five workshops were held and participants were very positive in their comments:

• 94% of managers felt the workshop met, was above or exceeded their expectations;
• 94% of managers felt that they could implement what they had learnt from the workshop.

In addition to the workshops for recruiting managers, Informed Assessment was involved in the design and delivery of a tailored event for the Senior Management Group. This workshop looked at the wider business context of recruitment and tackled topics such as translating the Coloplast brand image into recruitment practice.
