![]() Last week we looked at some tips on how you can make your recruitment process more successful but have you ever wondered how you can get to know a candidate more thoroughly outside of the information they share with you in a CV or the technical skills they display when you set a capability assessment? Face to face interviews will give you some insight but we all know candidates who have interviewed exceptionally well but in reality, they turn out to be completely wrong for your business. Rest assured, there is a solution! Let us introduce you to our favourite personality assessment tool: McQuaig Psychometric System. The McQuaig System offers two outstanding processes which you can use alone or pop them together for absolute best results.
McQUAIG JOB SURVEY This involves the employer completing an online survey answering questions about the ideal candidate. The questions are framed to really dig into what the employer is looking for. More than one person can complete this survey, resulting in a ‘composite report’ comprising the collated feedback from all people completing the survey. Sometimes this can also highlight where managers in the business have opposing views on what you’re really looking for, so this also prompts some really good internal conversations to get everyone on the same page! A comprehensive report is provided giving the employer real insight into the ideal candidate for their role, along with some great interview questions to use too! We love doing the job survey prior to writing a job advert so that we can use key phrases from the report in the ad to attract the right candidates!

Once completed a detailed psychometric report is generated and sent to the employer including the following sections:
WHY OUR CLIENTS LOVE IT
WHY WE LOVE IT We believe in ‘hire slow, fire fast’! The investment you make in the recruitment process to on-board the right person in the first place, goes a ridiculously long way to ensuring excellent workplace cultural fit and long term success as well as reducing problems that can be encountered down the road. We love using this tool to secure fantastic insight into candidates we’re considering for roles and we also know when someone is just not going to ‘fit’ a role or a client! Knowledge is power!
