What is a Typical Recruitment Process?
The recruitment process is a step by step strategy to identify job vacancies, analyse the role requirements, reviewing applicants, screening, shortlisting and placing the ideal candidate in the right position.
The Recruitment process usually encompasses three steps. Each step requires careful preparation and planning.
- Pre-selection: in this step managers define the job requirements, the personal qualities of an ideal candidate and the skills required for the role.
- Selection: the selection process entails reviewing the applicants' CVs, conducting interviews, administering psychometric tests and selecting the ideal employee.
- Post-Selection: the post-select phase is critical to ensure the company retains the new talent. This stage requires familiarisation with the individual hired and providing excellent on-boarding.
Often recruiters rely on CV's and gut feeling to select an employee. DISC Recruitment assessments and hiring assessment tools support the hiring process from selection to on-boarding. Remove guess-work from the recruitment process and reduce the cost associated with a poor hire. 81% of companies expect to make more reliable, less risky decisions using psychometric tests.

Screening and evaluating candidates
That 'gut feeling' alone is not enough to ensure you employ the most suitable candidate for a role. Assessment tools for recruitment and selection provide you with a complete overview of a candidates likely behaviour in the workplace. Psychometric assessments provide an in-depth picture of a candidate's behaviour and ability than interviewing and referencing processes alone. Extended DISC Assessments ensure you have accurate and comprehensive information to make a well-informed recruitment decision. Use DISC assessments and hiring assessment tools to support the interviewing process to ensure you ask the right questions.
Psychometric tests help recruiters and companies to understand who individuals are before they even begin working. Once we know and understand things like a person's preferred work environment (if at home or the office) and their development areas, we can put suitable measures into place, such as the right support from the manager and training plans.
