How to ensure your recruitment processes minimise the risk of transmission of Covid19
Most organisations are urgently looking at preparing for the challenge ahead with Covid19. But how can you continue to support the normal functioning of your organisation? Similarly, how do you continue high quality, sustainable and robust recruitment, whilst minimising the risk of transmission of Covid19?
Minimising travel and personal contact with candidates
To operate as normally as you can, you still need to recruit staff to roles. You still need to find the best person for a role and ensure the very best “fit”. At the same time, you need to reassure everyone involved that you are protecting their health and well-being.
Remote Interviews
Carrying out a remote interview of the candidates via a video conference link is one possible solution. However, the downsides of a remote interview is that you may not always pick up some of those more subtle nuances around communication, motivation, resilience, or team working skills etc.
A robust remote approach
So by adding a remote personality assessment, you will be able to gain key insights into all those aspects that determine “fit”.
A remote personality profile should always be verified by a feedback interview. This is a key part of the process, where the outputs from the online questionnaire are discussed with a trained assessor. We always consider the outputs from the profile as just the starting point for our exploration of the individual’s personality.
Our findings are then presented in a concise report to our client in a timely manner. This means they can explore any concerns further in the interview.
So how can WE help with your recruitment during the Covid19 outbreak?
As a team of experienced assessors and psychologists, we are approved by the UK government to carry out Executive Assessment. We have carried out thousands of assessments on the interpersonal, team working and leadership skills of candidates. Our assessors are used to working remotely, and can carry out all parts of the assessment without physical contact.
