What is Aspects?

Aspects is an online screening questionnaire which, when used in the early stages of recruitment, quickly identifies unsuitable applicants, allowing only those who closely match the requirements of the role to proceed.

At its core, Aspects is a competency-based questionnaire, however its value extends much further; dynamically generated interview guides help managers conduct better quality, more effective interviews, and an overall suitability score for each candidate provides a clear indication of suitability for the role.

What challenges does it help address?

• Handling high volumes of applications – the task of processing and identifying the best (and worst) applicants is time consuming, costly and often lacks objectivity and consistency
• Reducing time to hire – with large volumes of applications to process, organisations can be slow to make hiring decisions; talented applicants go elsewhere and employer brands get eroded. Smart technology and assessment in combination can dramtically improve time to hire
• Reducing cost of hire – organisations with complex, multi-stage hiring processes can reduce their cost-per-hire by introducing an objective screen early on in the process
• Increasing quality of hire – an objective and job-relevant screening assessment, early on in the hiring process, quickly identifies those candidates who are most suitable for the role, and those who are not
• Reinforcing employer brand – organisations wising to enhance or maintain their employer brand can do so by implementing a slick, contemporary and objective hiring process.

How does it work?

Aspects is based on a well researched model of 16 competencies designed to reflect a variety of customer facing roles, particularly within the call centre, retail and hospitality environments. As each client has unqiue needs, we don’t impose a fixed model; instead we work with the organisation to identify which of the 16 competencies are the best predictors of success in the role.

Taking only eight minutes to compete, Aspects provides and objective screening measure early on in the hiring process. It can be implemented on a standalone basis or integrated with a third party applicant tracking system for a truly seamless candidate experience.
