Eligo Fire & Security Recruitment have launched Eligo IQ – what the recruitment company describes as the intelligent selection process. You can find out more from them in person at IFSEC 2015 and Security TWENTY 15 North events in June and July and at London ExCeL and Newcastle respectively.
Eligo IQ is an online, multimedia candidate behavioural assessment and presentation tool that enables clients to save both time and money, the recruiters say. Features include:
•Managers collaborate to identify the ideal characteristics of their future employee through the completion of an intelligent survey, ensuring all parties are on the exact same page.
•Candidates access the Eligo IQ portal to build their profile, complete cutting edge psychometric testing, to match up to the initial survey results and produce a shortlist of the best matched candidates.
•Candidates upload video interviews to the portal, speeding up the entire first round interview process, whilst they are also tasked with answering a series of key competency questions.
•Managers view and review candidates instantly across multiple locations, with all content easily shareable to colleagues anywhere in the world.
•The hiring company’s brand is protected with a branded, customised portal and processes tailored exclusively to the company.
The company says that the process behind Eligo IQ takes the risk and guesswork out of hiring, with 96pc of candidates still with the company 12 months later.
John Guest, Eligo Fire & Security Divisional Director says many clients are already seeing the benefits of the service. He says: “A number of companies make their hiring decisions based on a gut feeling and on experience whereby most employees are dismissed based on their attitudes and behaviours, with miss-hires costing companies thousands of pounds and hundreds of hours of time each year.”
In particular John has noticed that clients have been particularly impressed by its behavioural job fit assessments which scientifically match talent. These behavioural assessments enable the company to save time defining the role, conducting fewer interviews, on training and induction, drastically improving both staff retention rates and cost to hire. “Our new service is a blend of science, recruitment craft, and technology, intelligently selecting the next perfect hire whilst ensuring a fast, easy, and comprehensive service.”
