Candidate Profiling & Assessment
The cost to the firm of replacing leavers can be up to 24 times their base salary (Source: DBM). Therefore, it is increasingly important to fit the right job to the right person when recruiting and also managing their transition through the business.
Formally identifying and measuring candidate competency against the requirements of the role, using a variety of assessment techniques (e.g. assessment centres, psychometric tests, role-play and group exercises), can ensure that you make a more informed and objective recruitment & development decision. It provides more information about a candidate than the results of an interview alone, which inherently relies upon the skills of an interviewer who may not be a recruitment specialist.
There are a number of organisations that can help with candidate profiling and assessment, here is one of the leading players worth giving consideration to, when trying to obtain these services. Both can operate cross culturally to meet your requirements:
