Recruitment and Selection

We can help you design and administer a selection process to find the best people. Recruiting the right people needs a planned approach. Selecting the best people requires the best techniques.

Planning Your Process

We begin by analysing the positions and developing clear and objective criteria on the job roles and responsibilities, organisational values and needs, and levels of performance required. From this we are able to map the knowledge, skills and abilities needed by candidates for these positions.

Recruitment

We advise on the most efficient, valid and cost effective process for attracting quality candidates.

Selection Processes

We develop tools to assess candidate knowledge, skills and abilities in the critical criteria. We do this by designing tailored selection exercises which may be any of the following:

• developing questions for structured behavioural or situational interviews
• administering personality and ability tests
• designing simulation exercises
• developing written exercises
• a combination of the above exercises in an assessment centre

We develop schedules to help assessors and managers rate candidate responses and rate observed behaviours in fair and objective ways.

We train assessors and managers in the skills involved in interviewing and assessment.

We help managers combine the information they have collected on candidates from the range of selection exercises, interviews, tests and reference checks. Managers are then able to make an informed and fair selection decision.

Selection Process Audit

We also offer an independent audit facility for organisations wishing to assess the effectiveness of their selection or graduate recruitment programs.
