Area of expertise
Client video
The objective of the client video is to give a potential candidate an overview of the company, the job and the people with whom the candidate is most likely to interact. It delivers improved self-selection and buy-in from candidates. The result is less "fallout" of good candidates during the process and a general enhancement of the organisation’s employer brand and reputation.
Video interviewing
Conducting structured candidate interviews on video presents StepStone Obvious clients with highly focused, consistent and objective candidate assessments that follow the clients’ best practice recruitment framework.
In 15 minutes, StepStone Obvious clients can learn as much from video interviews as they would investing an hour face-to-face with a candidate, even ignoring the additional time saved in not having to organise and manage the interview schedule.
In addition to the interview video, StepStone Obvious packages other relevant information, such as CVs, test results and interviewers’ notes, to enable clients to judge quickly which candidates to spend time with face-to-face and which specific areas of the candidate’s experience and competence should be addressed at final interview.
Online testing
Psychometric tests are a powerful way of evaluating people for specific roles and can also be used to determine future potential. However, when you are recruiting large numbers of people, the time and cost of administering tests can be enormous. StepStone Obvious works with leading test providers to put their tests online in a secure environment.
Job applicants are guided through the process and can try sample questions to reassure themselves before attempting the main test. This not only saves your time and effort, but also allows more people to take the test – especially people who currently have jobs and cannot take time off for assessments and interviews – thus delivering a higher quality of recruit.
Creating a talent pool
A talent community is an organisation’s total resource of people who can help the organisation achieve its objectives. It will generally consist of all current and potential future employees, from all possible sources.
StepStone Obvious brings an organisation’s talent pool to life through highly proactive management automated through advanced applications software. With StepStone Obvious the whole of the talent pool becomes readily visible and usable, allowing clients to benefit from all potential sources of candidates immediately and without bias.
This approach not only makes the hiring process more efficient and effective, but also reduces the cost of hiring by saving on time and an organisation’s reliance on external suppliers. More information
