Outsourced HR support - Client Q&A

Q: What’s the best way to select & recruit new staff?

A: In a difficult economic climate, companies are facing increasing pressure to ensure they find and employ the right people, in the right jobs, at the right time.

However research has shown that unstructured interviews are virtually useless as a predictor of future performance. Competency based interviews on the other hand consistently demonstrate much greater predictive validity.

Cognisis provide state of the art structured competency models for you to use, which deliver a reliable and straightforward solution. Our approach establishes a clear focus upon the necessary competencies and capabilities to meet your strategic goals. Understanding which competencies are actually critical or desirable for a job is the essential first step to delivering performance. Full training in the use of our competency framework is provided.

Cognisis provide practical and robust tools which can be used transparently to select and employ the right people.


Let us help your business survive the downturn.
