Shortlisting

In times of contracting job opportunities, applicant pools tend to grow exponentially, placing pressure on internal resources. The imperative to quickly and professionally identify potential candidates remains the key to effectiveness and efficiency in recruitment. When applicant pools are limited, an external consultant can provide professional judgment and independent insight into candidate strengths and potential that may assist an organisation to identify talent that otherwise would be overlooked.

Our Services include:

• Initial review generating a “long list” of candidates worthy of your more detailed attention
• Complete shortlisting services to assess all applicants and present a recommended shortlist
• Use of other shortlisting tools such as work tests, telephone interviews and psychometric assessment
