German term or phrase: Bedarfsermittlungsgespräch
Personalentwicklung und das strukturierte Bedarfsermittlungsgespräch

This is an entry in a list with little space. I need something shortish. Bedarfsermittlung = e.g. determination of requirements. But I'm having difficulties adding on the "Gespräch" bit. Any ideas greatly appreciated.

As far as BE is concerned, I guess Aniello is right.

It is not clear from the context whether it is the staffing requirements or the qualification requirements. So I'll go for Kims answer + Andrea's suggestion of interview. A big thanks to everyone for their input.

...interview


Explanation:
I chose interview...because this term is usually the first choice in psychology and does not only indicate the actual interview but also a conversation so to say.

Bedarfsermittlungsgespräch
discussion of staffing requirements


Explanation:

The first two suggest issues identified by the Transition Review Team; the third arises from a **discussion of staffing requirements** for integrated secondary and post-secondary programs.


If you want it shorter, you could also say: discussion of **HR** requirements
