Recruitment & selection process

We can help design or improve your recruitment and selection process to recruit the best person for the job and organisation.  Once you have sourced and attacting the right talent, you want a  consistent and high  quality interview process in place to empower the Hiring Managers to select the strongest candidate.

Typical recruitment problems

• Attracting the right candidates
• Testing skills and desired behaviours
• Reflecting your brand and values
• Hiring too slowly
• Hiring inconsistently, relying on the instinct of Managers
• Hiring on technical skills not behaviours

We can help you at each stage in the recruitment process:
