Hire Insight Develops Candidate Database

Many hiring managers use online job boards when sourcing for new candidates. However, while these boards may house many potential applicants, they do little to ensure that those represented have a high potential for success. The traditional focus has been on quantity over quality and in response to this, Hire Insight Group, a firm specializing in assisting clients throughout North America identify candidates with a high potential for job success, offers a solution in the form of Hire Insight Select, a budding database of pre-screened and pre-assessed candidates: candidates whom are all required to complete rigorous tests, assessments, expert interviews and reference checks before being represented by the firm. “We’ve basically taken our most efficient and effective candidate screening and assessment methods and combined them into a single program that quickly uncovers top talent within a group of job applicants,” says Chad Hayward, Assessment Director for Hire Insight Group. “We then upload the most successful individuals to the database, usually only the top 15%, which clients can review when they have an immediate hiring need.” Consultants at the firm realize it will take time to build such a database of pre-assessed talent, particularly considering their strict evaluation standards, and are looking to partner with select employers to help them do so. “We’re offering partners a significant discount on the outsourced screening and assessment process, in exchange for their participation. All they have to do is provide us with a pool of applicants who are to be screened and assessed for their next hiring project, and we will provide them with reports on the past success and future potential of the very best within this group: those who have the expertise, intelligence, personality and motivation to be top performers in the target position.” Should employers wish to participate in the program, they should contact a Hire Insight consultant.
