Balanced offers full service and tailor made recruitment services; psychological testing; preparation of position descriptions; career counselling and planning; and exit interviews.
Recruitment Services:
With more than 12 years’ recruitment experience, Will Harris knows what questions to ask, what behaviour to identify, and who will work well in your organisation.
Most of all, Will and his colleagues believe strongly that success comes easily when everyone is happy at work. And the happiest and most successful people are in the right
position with the right team.
Will offers highly flexible packages to source, assess and secure the right person for your business need. Your business doesn’t need to pay high fees based upon percentages of packages.
Instead for a fixed fee you can have a service that gives you what you need. You can choose from full service recruitment – packages including research, sourcing, advertising,
screening, interviewing, behavioural interviewing, testing, verification, refrence checking assessment, negotiating, and onboarding.
Our simple resourcing packages help you find candidates for a lower fee. You can have access to our huge database of active and non active candidates previously registered with us – adding a pool of quality candidates that you can’t source from a one-off job ad.
For most positions, Will tests shortlisted candidates on software packages relevant to the position. A candidate, or their referee, may claim they have a working knowledge of a program, but what if they start the position and you discover they are rusty? Testing is available on Microsoft Office suite, Adobe Creative Suite, AutoCAD programs, Project Management, and on other skills including customer service, sales and management.
Before you start looking, check with Will on the service packages that best manage costs and maximise the outcome of your recruitment efforts. This can mean the difference
between finding someone for the job, and finding the RIGHT person for the job. Remember, people are more likely to tell professional employment agents what they REALLY want. And when you have finished your work day, do you really have the time and expertise to conduct all those tests and all that research required for a quality placement?
Psychological Testing:
Will Harris uses the popular and concise DiSC testing system. Psychological assessments tools wprovide guidelines on behaviour that are useful for a variety of situations including:
recruitment. An employer can use the results of these tests to identify the behaviours of candidates that are most compatible with the role and the culture of the organisation.
In full service recruitmen campaigns, Will often tests the final shortlist of candidates before final interview with you, with a list of focused questions for each candidate.
The test results will identify trends and minimise the amount of lengthy and costly interviews required.
Will can also use testing to help identify the strength and weaknesses ofa team, and work with you to build the strengths of a team through further recruitment.
Position Descriptions:
We create a ‘Job Analysis Questionnaire’ to gain clarity on the objectives of your organisation and business. This aligns the position description to the goals of your organisation.
Devise questions for interviews to match the position description. These customised questions allow candidates to be rated in each of the competencies required.
More importantly, a clear position description avoids you having to respond to a comment like:
“I wouldnt have taken this role if I knew you wanted me to …….”.
Exit Interviews:
If you have ever had a previous employee attack the reputation you have worked so hard to buid; or if you cant seem to keep a receptionist for more than six months, then you need to do exit interviews, and it’s best someone external to you organisation conducts them. A simple exit interview may discover that you are looking for the wrong skillset or profile, or
that your organisation needs to monitor and manage behaviours internally. Use exit interviews to reduce staff turnover – and increase your brand reputation.
