Recruiting great people is difficult

FindingPotential is designed to make it much easier for you to recruit great people by applying some science, structure and objectivity to the process. As well as our range of assessments we realise that the interview is still the cornerstone of most recruitment activity, but it is not always carried out as well as it could be.

There has been a lot research into the use of interviews over the years and there is widespread agreement that their value can be significantly limited through inconsistencies in approach. As well as leading to poor recruitment decisions and the associated costs of these, allowing such inconsistencies to enter the interview process can lead to the organisation being at risk of making unfair assessment decisions and damage employer brand.

Using a structured “competency” based approach will help you to:

  • Ensure that questions you ask relate directly to the job for which the candidate is applying

  • Provide you with evidence of where a candidate has demonstrated behaviours relevant to a role, helping you to build a clearer picture of the candidate’s strengths

  • Standardise your approach which promotes fairness.

And that's why we have created this service to help you hold great interviews.
