Assessment

Analysis of the effectiveness of current approaches in interviewing shows that traditional biographically based interviews achieve a 15% chance of selecting the right candidate. Cresco uses a tailored mix of the following tools in the analysis of candidates’ suitability for a particular role within your organisation.

	Competency based interviewing
	Biographical based interviewing
	Ability tests
	Personality questionnaires

The recruiting organization receives a comprehensive report detailing the candidates’ strengths and weaknesses and the risk of appointment that they represent. Research shows that this method of assessment achieves much greater success in selecting the right candidate.

Referencing is an essential part of ascertaining how a candidate performed in the past and what enabled them to succeed or cause them to fail. Cresco ensures that a comprehensive reference procedure is followed in order to add this information into the recruitment decision. We check employment, character and personal references.
