In a candidate-short and mobile market, recruitment has more than ever before become the cornerstone of talent attraction and retention. It is therefore vital that we consider all the key factors that will contribute to making the most successful decision when choosing a new team member. A holistic, multi-faceted approach, as provided by Thomas International is now imperative for human capital management.

Most companies now have a recruitment process (whether an outsourced or internal function) that includes advertising, screening, interviewing and candidate comparison before making any recruitment decisions.

In order to strengthen the candidate information that your organisation is comparing and considering, Thomas International has the following tools that will focus on different key areas which increases the quality, depth and accuracy of your decisions and choices:

Personal Profile Analysis

This will give a clear indication of the candidate’s preferred work behavioural style, and highlights key communication, motivation and management expectations. Results can be compared to a specified Job Profile or Benchmark.

Tests for Selection and Training

Measure your candidate’s ‘trainability’ or development potential by using this tool and determine how quickly your candidate can learn new skills and procedures. This will also give you valuable Induction & Training information, and will enable you to determine the best level to engage and train your new team member, and more importantly, at what speed. Results from this assessment can also be integrated with the Behavioural Assessment results, which allows for a comprehensive comparison when considering many candidates.

Thomas Emotional Intelligence Assessment

A measure of emotional intelligence can add significantly to your recruitment process, as this gives you an overview of an individual’s capacity to understand and control their own emotions, and recognise and manage those of others. 

Skills Online Assessments

Measure individual’s hard competencies with over 100 different tests, including MS Office and computer proficiency, call centre and secretarial skills and basic literacy and numeracy levels.
