Graduate Recruitment
How successful is your Graduate Recruitment programme?
Graduate recruitment is a critical to most business recruitment strategies. To be successful you need to focus on the quality rather than the quantity of applicants for your graduate intake.
There is wide recognition of the importance of the annual graduate programme and increased competition to attract the best graduates.
Companies are grappling with the questions of how to adapt their recruitment processes to take account of the increased competition, and how to use supportive programmes and technology to enhance their current approach.
There are a number of major process-based tools that are increasingly being used to improve the quality of graduate selection and to ensure a ‘better fit.’ Selector works with many professional and other business organisations across the length and breadth of New Zealand to support their Graduate Recruitment programmes.
How Selector can help you improve your Graduate Recruitment selection process?
Many companies take great care in attracting and retaining talented graduates who have the ability to drive the future vibrancy and growth of their companies. They have found that successful professionals tend to share certain vocational and personal attributes.
This is where Selector Insight can help.
A highly effective graduate recruitment programme can be built around Selector Insight, which will provide you with a cost effective snapshot of your candidate’s capabilities.
Selector Insight is a self-reporting tool that requires little, or no, interpreter training and generates a full, written, and graphical, report the instant your candidate completes their on-line assessment. The report ranges from your candidates’ general abilities, personality and work styles, right through to their resilience to pressure and stressful situations.
It is as simple as that.
This report can easily be built into to your own in-house recruitment process – or used by your outside HR consultant – to help improve the effectiveness of your current programme.
The report will provide insight into candidates:
- Ability Measure – an overview of verbal, numerical and logical reasoning
- Personal style – an indication of interpersonal style, self-confidence, openness to new ideas, extroversion and competitiveness
- Ideal working environment – their working preferences, their preference for autonomy, interaction, complexity and other job characteristics
- Ideal job – their job preferences from the ideal to least desirable
- Resilience – their reactions to pressure and stress are measure against a number of key criteria
All described in practical terms, with easy to interpret graphs which quickly and effectively add value to your recruitment process prior to the interview.
It will guide you by also providing, optional, detailed interview questions and areas for reference checking to help you select the ideal graduate for the position.
Case study
We have a case study you are welcome to download. In it we discuss some of our clients’ experiences of graduate recruitment and their discovery that the best recruits aren’t necessarily those with the highest abilities. Personality is a very important factor in making the best recruitment decisions.
