The Surch TruHire Process

SURCH Recruitment is unlike any Sales & Marketing Recruitment Firm on the market today. Of our many advantages, perhaps none is more important than our strategic alliance with TruHire Inc.

TruHire Inc. was founded with the goal of providing invaluable tools designed to increase the ease, effectiveness and SUSTAINABLITY, of sound practices across a broad spectrum of Human Resources issues. For a full breakdown of TruHire applications and solutions, visit truhire.ca.

Within SURCH, TruHire centers on identifying the MOST suitable person for any given role, and then validating that person with a full and comprehensive vetting process.

The key components of the TruHire process when used for hiring are:

The Job Fit Analysis Tool:

• Detailed Psychometric Assessment of all qualified Applicants combined with a fully customized Benchmark design for EACH SPECIFC OPPORTUNITY and ONLY THAT OPPORTUNITY.

Customized Behavioral Interview Questions:

• A specific list of Questions designed for EACH CANDIDATE INTERVIEWED. Questions are generated with each candidate in mind individually allowing for greater detail and probative qualities during a Client Interview.

Criminal and Credit Background Checks:

• Once a Candidate has been selected, TruHire will conduct a detailed Criminal Background and Credit History check through its third party security partner.

Below are just a few of the Most Common hiring Mistakes consistently made and how the Psychometric Assessment and Benchmarking available through TruHire, helps to avoid and in most cases eliminate them:

Mistake #1 – Not understanding the Position being offered.

The most common, and costly, mistakes are made when employers don’t have a clear understanding of what the job entails, and therefore cannot accurately compare candidates to their current need.

TruHire guides you to explicitly define the position needs. The Benchmarking program defines learning abilities, interests and work related personality characteristics required for the position which are factors required for success in that job. You will have well defined requirements for all positions.

Mistake #2 – Overlooking the importance of corporate culture.

“Fit” is an intangible but real concern in the workplace. Over 87% of the time, people leave a company because of a personality or culture conflict.

TruHire addresses the need for job fit information. We compile responses from your proven top performers in addition to you as the hiring manager. This process will clearly reveal job requirements and how your new individual will fit the position.

Mistake #3 – Taking sole responsibility for hiring.

Many managers tend to interview by themselves and make their hiring decision on their own. Since their decisions affect the entire team, this is not always the best course of action.

By using TruHire, you can treat it as a distinct and “totally objective” viewpoint. It essentially acts as a second opinion and works great in situations where another second opinion is not available.

Mistake #4 – Not preparing for the interview.

Hiring someone is not the only thing you have to do today. You have a business to run. Despite you best intentions, your pending interview with your next prospect, will most likely not get the care and preparation it requires.

Not preparing is a thing of the past with TruHire. It provides the interviewer with direction and behavior-based questions. It will increase your efficiency as an interviewer and facilitate narrowing candidates down to create a shortlist.

Mistake #5 – Talking too much in an interview.

The candidate is there for the audition yet too often it is the hiring manger that does all the talking. You cannot determine if they are right for the job, if they are not given a chance to tell you.

TruHire will help you improve your interviewing skills. Using the questions generated from the Assessment will force candidates to share previous experiences that will clarify their fit for the position.

Mistake # 6 – Not asking all the candidates the same questions.

A free form interview may be great to keep things fresh and conversational, but it does not do much good when it comes to comparing candidates.

TruHire not only prompts you to ask the same questions, but to rate each response to ensure a complete evaluation.

Mistake #7 – Asking low-value questions.

Many questions that are commonly asked in interviews do not add any value to the hiring process whatsoever. Resume rehashes, questions about strengths and weakness, all add very little in determining fit.

TruHire never produces useless questions. Typically candidates who have been interviewed with our Assessments comment on how the specific nature of the questions helped them to think of more relevant experiences. Simply put you get a better interview, and therefore a more accurate representation of the candidate.

Mistake #8 – Losing Focus.

Asking the same questions, over and over again, can lead to an interviewer losing focus (especially on your 4th interview of the day!) This can lead to the last candidate interviewed, not getting the best interview from you, and in turn you not getting their best from them.

Losing focus is not an option with TruHire. The questions you will ask are specific to where the candidate is off on the Benchmark already created. All the questions are directly related to the requirements of the position.

The benefits of such a powerful program are easy to see. SURCH, includes this TruHire service  for free on every search engagement undertaken.

For roles where Clients have candidates already identified, this program is also available to you on a pay-per-use basis directly from TruHire. Call us today.
