Selecting for specialist training: 2.
Most specialist training posts are filled after short-listing and interview by an ad hoc group representing various interests who never work together as a team. They are rarely required to predict the outcome and receive no feedback on their success. Structuring and planning the interview, training the interviewers, limiting their number and the acquisition of interpersonal skills can improve performance and outcome.
