Multilevel Selection Procedure

Interviewing is the main tool in our selection process. Usually, interviewing consists of two stages. The first stage is a Telephone Prescreening that aims to establish a rapport with the candidate, understand and/or generate his/her interest in the new career opportunity, assess certain personal characteristics (presentation skills, time-management ability, sense of humor, etc.) and bring the candidate to the second stage of the process - the Face-to-Face Interview.

The three major criteria we assess at the Face-to-Face Interview are Professional Skills, Human Skills and Motivation. To clarify professional skills we find out about educational background, career history, and major achievements and failures in detail. We have also developed a number of testing procedures to check candidates’ professional skills in different areas of expertise. We determine human skills and motivation using a sophisticated scheme of open questions based on a Targeted Selection Technique.

To ensure an unbiased attitude toward the candidates, our conclusions are typically based on the opinions of several consultants. Interviews are conducted over the course of an hour in Russian and in a foreign language to judge candidates’ ability to understand and express themselves in both languages. We also check references on presented candidates. This thorough selection process assures a good fit with your corporate candidate profile and saves you valuable time.
