Recruitment & Selection

Holistic recruiting goes beyond the traditional interview process in order to fully gauge potential candidates and their ability to interact with potential colleagues in the organization.

We set up guidelines that make it easier to initiate holistic recruiting techniques that help to identify the ideal candidate more accurately.

Holistic Recruitment Guidelines

Instead of conventional questionnaires and interviews, the holistic process observes the candidate's personality and the level of interaction with their potential colleagues.

These guidelines provide a basis on how to initiate an effective holistic recruitment campaign. It consists of three stages: The Preparation Stage, Observation Stage, and the Deciphering Stage.

The Preparation Stage clarifies the purpose of hiring, revises job description and prepares the documents to be used during process. Questions are used to engage the personality. Existing staff also play a role in the process.

The Observation Stage observes how the candidate interacts with potential colleagues and composes themselves and takes the place of the conventional interview. A formal tour and conversation with would-be colleagues followed by a one-on-one interview takes place.

The Deciphering Stage recounts the overall impressions and renderings from the interaction with the candidate. Each participating staff member gives their feedback to the lead interviewer, details retrieved from the one-on-one interview are considered in order to aid in the final hiring decision.

It combines several selection tools into the process. Personality, working samples and mock scenarios engage the candidate's experience and ability to problem solve in actuality.


Benefits & Contact

Involving the candidate on a more in depth level permits colleagues and the interviewer to see what the candidate's performance actually consists of. It also increases participation as staff are more directly involved in the hiring decision.

A holistic recruiting guideline:

  • Increases accuracy: measures whether the candidate's resume and demonstrated performance do match
  • Increases chance of finding all-star candidates: Seeing the candidate in action fully discloses their capacity to deal with people and handle the job. This reduces the cost associated with having vacancies and rehiring.
  • Higher retention: New recruits stay for longer periods of time
  • Reduction of violence and clashes: Personalities are measured to reduce friction and potential clashes with existing staff.
