By gaining a greater understanding of the important behaviours and competencies linked to “on-the-job success”, an assessment style approach provides data-driven insights which simply cannot be seen through a CV or interview alone. Furthermore, combining assessment with a competency-based selection process provides the hiring manager with a greater understanding as to how likely the individual is to succeed in performing tasks critical to the role.
Drawing on the experience of SHL and it’s 320 million assessment records, Searson Buck’s approach to applying a scientifically validated people-data to predict potential, is unique in the Tasmanian market and will guarantee greater success in the hiring experience for both clients and candidates alike. Applying a competency-based approach with psychometric assessment, simply drives better results than CVs or interviews alone.
Having this evidence allows the organisation to make a more informed hiring decision and is an objective measure which reduces the major source of error in hiring….human bias.
The combination of competency-based interviewing and online psychometric assessment also allows business leaders and hiring managers to uncover more about an individual’s underlying cognitive abilities, behavioural attributes and potential before they hire. With 1 in 4 new hires leaving within their first year of employment, the investment in a robust competency-based interviewing and assessment methodology is small, and will assist in time to fill and importantly higher levels of hiring manager satisfaction with the recruitment process.
It’s not only business leaders that tell us about the value of assessments, but also candidates too.
Partnering with Searson Buck Group brings to you an innovative approach to your people sourcing, recruitment and workforce solutions.
Occupational Personality Questionnaire (OPQ-32)
The OPQ measures a person’s typical way of behaving, thinking, and feeling in the workplace. It provides insights in the candidate’s potential strengths and potential areas of development. It can also be used to determine how their personality or style will impact on work and those around them. The OPQ assessment itself allows for more detailed assessments which include Executive Leadership, Managerial and Sales orientations.
