"How do we operate?"

A typical recruitment campaign scenario might be:

• Discussion with HR and Line Management about specific requirements for the role
• If an advertised vacancy; create copy for approval with client prior to placement
• If a search assignment; brief MMA researcher
• Agree timescales and prepare project plan
• Produce brief and agree with client to confirm understanding of requirements and to use to inform candidates prior to interview
• Screen responses from applicants and carry out first interviews with potential candidates; handling all correspondence and communications with applicants
• Keeping candidates and client informed of progress at all times
• Preparing a shortlist to include interview report, synopsis and CVs
• Organise interviews for shortlisted candidates
• Brief Occupational Psychologist if psychometric assessments are required
• Handle all employment contract offer negotiations
• Produce a final report on the outcome of the campaign for client.

Psychometric Assessment

Psychometric testing can be a valuable tool in helping you to assess who is the best candidate for the role. Tests enable you look beyond how the candidate presents at interview and to check out their aptitudes; attitudes; responses to stressful situations and how well they fit into a team. Using psychometrics will assist you in making better people decisions; reducing staff turnover and saving you time and money.

MMA has a number of Occupational Psychologists who are experienced in running psychometric assessments as part of selection process including Assessment Centres if this service is required.

Timing

All recruitment assignments are unique; however, a typical search campaign could have a 13 week time span and for advertising and selection this could be 8 weeks. A programme timescale is agreed at the start of the assignment to enable progress to be monitored and ensure slippage, as far as possible, is avoided.
