THE LEGAL SIDE OF INTERVIEWING:
What Every Manager Needs to Know
📅 April 3o, 2026 | 12pm GMT
How many people in your business conduct interviews? And how many of them have actually been trained to do it?
For some businesses the answer is the same: quite a few, and none of them.
It's one of those things that just happens.
A vacancy opens, a manager gets asked to sit in, and before long they're running interviews based on instinct and a list of questions they found online. Nobody checks whether those questions are legal. Nobody checks whether the process would hold up if a candidate challenged it.
The problem is that employment law doesn't care whether you knew the rules or not. One poorly worded question can lead to a discrimination claim, a tribunal case, or a costly hiring mistake that takes months to unpick.
In this free 30-minute webinar, we'll walk through the legal risks hiding inside your interview process, explain what managers need to stop doing immediately, and show you how to build an interview framework that protects your business and improves your hiring decisions.
