Overview

Hiring is a very difficult task! Trying to select the right people for the right job is not easy. You are judging strangers and trying to quickly discover who they really are and how they will really perform in your organization. The people-reading game is tough to do right.

I'm Mike McCarthy, Managing Partner of Hire Quality. I would like to tell you about our journey over the last six years developing a new way to hire that delivers a real return in terms of value and innovation.

I have been in the recruiting industry for over twenty years. I can honestly say that I have never witnessed anything close to the impact that Job Simulations have had on recruiting ROI. When I first heard of the job simulation concept, seeing candidates in action doing the job rather than interviewing for the job, I had one of those "Aha" moments. I knew in an instant that this could significantly impact the traditional hiring process.

Our process is based on a simple concept - Show Me. It reflects how life is. In sports, you don't interview for a position on the team, you tryout. You get on the field and show what you can really do. In the entertainment world, you get on the stage and audition for the role. For some reason business has been stuck in the interview mode of having candidates 'talk the talk'. Job Simulations make candidates 'walk the walk'!

Clients initially work with us because they understand the job simulation concept. It makes sense, but it is still theory. Invariably, about half way the process, having seen qualified candidates rise or fall during the scenarios, they get it! Once they experience our process first hand and see what candidates can really do, they love it (see Case Studies). Clients tell us that our process has a huge impact on their ability to hire right. It provides increased hiring accuracy and reduces the risk of making costly mistakes. This translates to...

• Deeper pre-hire insight into candidates
• Better organizational fit for both clients and candidates
• Faster productivity curve
• Focused employee development program
• Increased employee retention

We have developed a diverse clientele with a high level of repeat business. We have grown almost exclusively through referrals. Our award winning process has achieved an enviable track record in that 85% of the candidates hired through our process have met or exceeded client expectations! Our simulations are customized for each client. They are conducted in person, not online. Our process has been aptly described as a 'mobile assessment centre at a fraction of the cost'!
