The Interview Process is Flawed

Candidates look good on paper and they interview well, but interviews are inconsistent because they are based on:

• “Gut Feel “
• Unstructured interview questions
• Managers recruiting in their like image
• Candidates misleading on their C.V.

The McQuaig Psychometric System™ will help you cut through the fog and find the right people. It will provide you with an effective, objective, interview process that has been proven to work.

Clients tell us that it’s only when you see the results for yourself that you will be surprised with its accuracy.

“It is frightening how accurate the McQuaig Word Survey is. It gives us an insight that questioning never will” Martin McColl, HR Manager.

5 ways to improve your internal selection process

Many companies invest considerably in enhancing and structuring external recruitment and selection activities. They:

• utilise placement firms
• purchase résumé tracking software
• administer psychometric tests
