Rewriting the recruitment rulebook
You know when you take a risk on a new company and A) it works and B) you’re reminded that new companies have unbelievably experienced talent behind the scenes - well this was one of those incredible moments.
Our company has a high turnover of people due to the nature of our business (retail). We’d find people that looked great on paper, talked well, often fell short when it came to the execution. Skillscanr rewrote the experience for us - we started finding people that resonated with our mission and fit the profile of the longstanding team members (this review is being written after 8 months with Skillscanr and securing 2 very good people from them very early on).
I’m analytical - I like to understand processes from every angle so I have taken the time to understand the experience from the candidates viewpoint. They have independently described the same experience: ‘thoughtful, caring, clear and manageable’. One of them commented on previous recruitment processes as being left in the dark, being asked to provide irrelevant information / or complete irrelevant tasks and generally feeling stressed about the process. They described how that had been eliminated through Skillscanr. As an owner/operator it resonated as that has been my experience too.
I want to highlight Nathan - you get the perfect mix of understanding, responsiveness and commitment. You’re never left in the dark, I’ve always felt like I was a priority and there is a passion for our company to excel. A genuine passion! Not one of those buzz line creators.
I have a high set of standards in everything I do and it takes a lot for me to feel like people have joined the race at the same time. Skillscanr have. I can count on one hand how many reviews I’ve left for companies - these guys deserve the top spot.
I’ve gone the extra mile and recommended Skillscanr to friends that own an oil and gas consultancy company. I have no doubt that these guys can deliver the right people and meet the exceptional standards that are required to keep a client at that level happy.
Well done team and thank you.
