Background Checking – Do you really know who you are hiring?
In a recent study it was found that over 80% of people embellish their CVs, increasing their grades or overstating salaries. In worst case scenarios candidates have fabricated degrees, or deleted unsuccessful career moves! Many businesses, especially SMEs do not have the resources to thoroughly reference new recruits and do little more than write to their last 2 employers. Adams Linley has signed up with the market leading The Risk Advisory Group to provide a detailed background checking service for its clients. From as little as £150+VAT you can outsource your referencing to a professional. The background report produced can be simply used to take up the last employer reference, address/qualification verification and credit referencing, or it can also include the past 5 years employment history, criminal records and a media search. For key appointments you really should ‘know who you are hiring’! For further information please contact Matt Linley, 07918 158878.
Personality Profiling – recruit based on more than just instinct!
Some people are fantastic at interview, they know exactly the right things to say and really excel at selling themselves. Even the most seasoned interviewer can find it difficult to spot potential areas of concern that could affect the individual’s performance in the role. Personality testing allows a sneak peak into the mind set of the individual sat across from you. While it can not tell you who to hire it can provide you with invaluable information to take into interview, helping you focus in on personality traits that may surface and have an impact in a work situation. Correctly used profiling is a superb recruitment tool that often highlights areas missed through traditional ‘gut reaction’ interviewing. Adams Linley can now provide detailed psychometric profiling from £150+VAT per head. For further information please contact Matt Linley, 07918 158878.
