Is Candidate Assessment Moving From Old to New?

Picture This: The Future of Recruitment

Imagine a recruitment process where candidates are not just words on a CV, but individuals whose personal values resonate with the heartbeat of the organisation. How does this fit with your process at present? Are you using AI to sift and create your profiles? Have you considered how this really limits the picture you obtain of your potential candidate?

Welcome to the Future of Hiring

Candidate led, values based recruitment is an innovative approach that not only attracts exceptional talent but also cultivates a workplace where shared values drive success and harmony. Did you know that according to LinkedIn research, 67% of candidates actively seek out a company and its values before applying?

The Importance of Values-Based Recruitment

Values based recruitment allows you to assess a candidate and their suitability not just for the job role being applied but their cultural fit with your organisation and their alignment with your organisational culture and environment. By bespoking assessment methods, you can truly assess the candidate holistically and tailor the recruitment process around the job specific requirements and the skills and aptitude required for success. Ask yourself the question, does your standard Q&A based interview truly test administrative skills or how a candidate would react to conflicting priorities? If the answer is no, then it is time to rethink how you hire.

Fundamentally, without a customer or client, we have no business. An organisation can spend valuable time and effort on customer due diligence, but can you say that you give recruitment the same level of love and attention? Recruitment agency Robert Half recently conducted research with Senior Managers, that research found that 95% of executives surveyed said that poor hiring decisions impacted the morale of the wider team. Without people, there is no business. Therefore, it’s imperative to change our thinking. Recruitment can no longer be a tick-box exercise.

Imagine getting a picture of your candidate prior to even meeting them – personality traits, key aptitude indicators, motivations, drivers, and a more holistic view of their fit and suitability for the role. Have you ever considered the benefits of role-specific recruitment focusing on the candidate and the human factors of their fit with the organisation?

On average, UK companies spend £6,125 per hire, but this cost can quickly multiply if the wrong candidate is brought on board. Now is the time to consider candidate-led values-based recruitment. With increasing National Insurance costs and ongoing costs relating to staff employment, ensuring the right candidate recruitment at the right time has never been more critical.
