Course overview
After a successful interview, every recruit needs time to settle in and prove they have what it takes. Your managers have seen their resume and references, and they’ve answered their questions in a way that ticks the boxes. But now it’s time for them to find out about how they perform day-to-day. A good interview doesn’t necessarily mean a good long-term fit for the team.
A probation period will show your managers everything they need to know. They will have clear and structured evidence over time, so they can be confident in their ultimate hiring decisions. Probation periods help assess and support new recruits while they showcase their skills and attitude. Your managers will identify areas for improvement and acknowledge emerging potential.
