totecPRO: A 21st-Century Recruitment Solution
totecPRO is our modern recruitment process, designed to ensure long-term candidate retention while reducing your cost per hire.
We strongly recommend assessing behaviour and organisational fit before making a hiring decision. In recent years, candidate expectations have changed dramatically. When was the last time you reviewed and updated your recruitment process to keep pace?
Assessing Behaviours: The Key to Hiring Success
Most job descriptions are heavily focused on skills and knowledge, often filled with clichés like "well-motivated," "self-starting," and "team-player." Yet, when a hire doesn’t work out, it’s rarely because their skills or experience were lacking—it's usually because their behaviour wasn’t a good fit for the organisation.
This misalignment is why companies often face a 30% failure rate in retaining new employees, with only 7 out of 10 hires still in place after one year.
The solution? Behavioural assessment.
The McQuaig Job Survey® enables hiring managers, stakeholders, and recruiters to accurately define the behavioural requirements for any role. By establishing an internal benchmark, it identifies the behaviours that are critical for success in the position.
Complementing this, the McQuaig Word Survey® is a personality assessment that evaluates an individual's core traits, their behaviour in their current role, and how they compare to the behavioural profile established through the McQuaig Job Survey®.
