The presenter was Mrs. Anna Sofokleous, Career Management Consultant in Let’s Talk! Human Potential Ltd.

The aim of the presentation was to give an insight to all students regarding the Recruitment & Selection tools that are used by today’s employers so the candidates would be able to get prepared effectively. In this way, they can stand out from the crowd and maximize possibilities to be hired.

The presentation focused on and analyzed the main selection methods. These include: a) Assessment Centers, b) Job Interviews and c) Psychometric tests numerical tests, verbal ability tests, reasoning tests, mechanical ability tests and personality tests (as all these come under the category of the recruitment and selection tools).
