Thu, 23 Jan 2014The marine division of Lloyds Register, the risk management and safety assurance organisation, is using a training film as part of a recruitment drive to appoint global experts for the UK’s largest maritime industry centre.

Lloyds Register has relocated its marine headquarters from London to a new purpose-built Global Technology Centre on the University of Southampton’s campus. The technical cluster will provide a centre of excellence for innovation, research & development for the global marine community.

The Video Arts training film is part of a recruitment programme to appoint around 200 new staff, many of whom with expertise in niche areas within marine assurance.

Anne-Marie Krivonjeva, recruitment lead for the Southampton Programme at Lloyd’s Register, explains: “We've always had a very low level of staff turnover, so many of our managers have not had much experience in interviewing and recruiting.

“We now need to add to our team of global experts, so we felt it was important to equip our managers with the skills to recruit the best people.”

Lloyd's Register designed an e-learning course covering employment law and the principles of recruitment. It also developed a one-day interview skills workshop to explain the practicalities of selection and how to conduct effective interviews.

The workshop uses clips from the Video Arts film Behavioural Interviewing, starring actors James Nesbitt and Kris Marshall, which shows how past behaviour is key to predicting future performance.
