Hire with confidence – practical skills for better recruitment

IPA CPD Network (formerly Training Forum)

In this virtual CPD Network session with Strategic People Developer Genevieve Miller, we look at all aspects of the hiring journey.

Whether you’re a seasoned recruiter or hiring your first team member, getting recruitment right matters more than ever. But great hiring doesn't start when candidates walk through the door; it begins with how you write the job advert.

In this practical session, you'll learn how to craft job descriptions that attract the right talent, conduct interviews that reveal what you really need to know, and make fair decisions backed by solid evidence. You'll also discover how thoughtful feedback – even to unsuccessful candidates – can strengthen your agency's reputation and build talent pipelines for the future.

Genevieve will share proven strategies from her work with leaders and talent teams across the UK media sector. You'll leave with straightforward, actionable ideas you can apply to your very next hire. 

Genevieve Miller leads talent and inclusion initiatives for the Professional Publishers' Association, where she helps organisations across the UK media sector attract and retain exceptional people. She serves as an industry advisor to the Better Hiring Institute – a government-backed initiative working to make recruitment fairer and faster.
