Staff Recruitment & Selection

"Effective recruitment is central and crucial to the successful day-to-day functioning of any organisation. Successful recruitment depends upon finding people with the necessary skills, expertise and qualifications to deliver organisational objectives and the ability to make a positive contribution to the values and aims of the organisation." CIPD, 2006

Your recruitment process should be fair and objective for all candidates. The criteria for candidate selection should be based solely on their:

• Ability to do the job
• Ability to make a contribution to the organisation's effectiveness
• Potential for development

It is important also that the process that you choose to select candidates accurately asesses each candidate using the above criteria such that the best candidate from your list of applicants is selected for the job. The most effective methods have been shown to be assessment clinics, psychometrics (e.g. ability & aptitude tests), personality profiling, role play, observation, face-to-face interviews and telephone interviews.

As a psychologist, Colin is able to offer you a wealth of skills with regards to your recruitment needs. Whether you simply require additional help with administering and scoring psychometric tests on a large recruitment campaign or require an in-depth analysis of a senior candidate's personality, integrity, management style or higher-level decision-making capacity, Colin can offer you his expertise.
