Improving the Recruitment and Selection Process

As a hiring manager, improving your recruitment and selection process is one of your key priorities. By ensuring an effective recruitment process, you’ll save your business time, money and disruption – but how can you adjust your processes to realise these benefits?

The problem with the traditional recruitment process is that a lot of it still comes down to guesswork. Let’s face it, anyone can say anything on a CV with conviction – and many people now hire professional CV writers to do the job for them – but being presented with a selection of ‘sifted’ CVs is not what you’re paying your recruitment partner for. Well it is, but it shouldn’t be.

Rather than simply relying on our own in-depth insight into what makes a good hire for a role, we’ve invested in a pioneering digital recruitment platform that removes the guesswork and identifies potential candidates on much more than experience alone: you&me.

you&me – a new recruitment process that really works

Finding the right candidate means finding someone that can not only perform the requirements of the role, but someone who fits the dynamics and culture of your business too. Without considering an individual’s behavioural traits and assessing their suitability on a wider range of criteria, you’re at risk of finding the right hire on paper, but the wrong one in reality.

Using a combination of the usual applicant CV review, plus a range of tailored, objective key competency and behavioural assessments, candidate video presentations and more, our you&me recruitment platform allows you to benchmark candidates and evaluate them on behaviours and work-style, not just skills.

By assessing candidates on the way they work and how that fits in with your workplace culture, you’ll hire the right person first-time, improving staff retention rates and making sure both you and your new starter are happy.

Reduce recruitment costs

With a 24/7 real-time dashboard you can access from anywhere at any time, you can quickly assess potential candidates based on the bespoke behaviours that you and your team have identified as essentials for the role.

In a nutshell, you&me will reduce your recruitment costs thanks to filtering out more candidates to ensure a better match – therefore spending less time on unnecessary interviews – and improving retention rates so you don’t need to go through the process again in a few months’ time.

Making more informed hiring decisions is the best way to improve your recruitment and selection process and build more sustainable teams – explore the you&me platform here for more information.
