Getting your candidates to rise to the challenge
Going through the motions of recruitment can be dull for both the recruiter and the candidate. The best way to grab your ideal candidate’s attention is to ditch those stale recruitment tactics and get creative with your campaign. Chamberlink explores some of the ways a business can get more proactive with its recruitment campaigns while attracting a multi-generational landscape.
Psychometric tests A recent report found that 78 per cent of professionals identify personality as the single- most desirable quality. The difficulty in identifying high calibre workers has resulted in many firms adopting a strengths-only recruitment process – and, with many employees finding it important to hire people that will ‘fit in’, it’s no surprise that methods such as psychometric tests have become increasingly popular in the world of recruitment. Psychometric tests are designed to measure
candidates’ suitability for a role based on required personality characteristics and aptitude. Using the format of a questionnaire, these
tests aim to discover the personal traits of each candidate that may be difficult to glean in a short, face-to-face interview. Psychometric tests are considered to be an objective and unbiased interview method, as they employ standard methods of assessment; all candidates are presented with the same questions and instructions.
Video screening Video-screening is an all-in-one hiring and candidate management technique that can help recruiters save time. Phone screening can be an overwhelming task, especially as there is always the risk that a conversation can go off topic or information could get lost in translation.
However, video screening has many
advantages. Firstly, the video can be watched and replayed as many times as it takes to evaluate the suitability of a particular candidate, particularly when examining body language and personality. Additionally, the video can shared among the hiring team, allowing all of the relevant staff members the opportunity to analyse the candidate’s suitability. Compiling the right questions is key to this
technique. The same questions can be used in all interviews, ensuring consistency and will ensure that all candidates are given a fair chance. This can also eliminate generalisation that can lead to irrelevant discussion.
Gamification Gamification is a hiring strategy that uses complex puzzles to test the quality of an applicant and filter out unsuitable candidates. Not only is this a sure-fire way to increase your organisation’s digital IQ, it also helps you stand out from the crowd.
