These include:-

sales management filtering

Metier offers clients the opportunity to video initial investigation sessions or the sales management filtering process. Since many video resumes are perceived as low value, many global clients take advantage of Metier either creating the video resume or viewing responses to Metier (or client provided) questioning.

video interview / video resume

Since many video resumes are perceived as low value, many global clients take advantage of Metier either creating the video resume or viewing responses to Metier (or client provided) questioning.

screening

The cost of screening is only a fraction of the total cost of recruitment. ‘background checking’ or ‘alcohol and drug screening’ (where applicable) represent a cost-effective method to significantly reduce the risk of taking on an unsuitable candidate. In a recent survey, Experian found that:

"of 1500 major employers, 71% responded that they had encountered serious lying on job applicants' cv’s with the most serious lies relating to previous experience. For 25% of those respondents, lying to clinch the job was a sackable offence within their organisation."

customisable selection processes

clients have the option to customise any element of our selection process to understand and qualify the following:-

  • Do they have the basic requirements?
  • Do they want to this opportunity? (attitude, values, ethics)
  • Can they do they handle this opportunity without great stress? (personality traits, cognitive abilities)
  • Do they have the know-how to satisfy the opportunity? (skills, knowledge, experience)
  • How to do they perform under fire? (objection handling, behavioural interview questioning)
  • Do they pass all screening and background checks?
