Ixly has been proudly working with various Berenschot consultancy services for years. This includes Berenschot Search and the Assessment & Development departments that fall under the Human Capital consultancy service. Berenschot Search works with a team of consultants to fill executive positions in healthcare, public administration, arts and culture, education and for housing corporations. Besides executive search, Berenschot Search also does large-scale recruitment and selection assignments. The organisation engaged Ixly for a challenging recruitment assignment. For a well-known client, Berenschot Search had to select 28 candidates from 185 applicants for the next round of the selection process. These candidates were interested in a career switch with a development path. All candidates scored satisfactorily based on an online interview and assessment. So how do you choose from all the applicants? Berenschot Search looked for an efficient way to select the right candidates.
Berenschot Search and Ixly have been working together for some time to provide insight into leadership capabilities via the Berenschot Future Maker Profile. To select candidates quickly and efficiently in a short time frame, without compromising on quality, they deployed Ixly's new Compare & Select tool. Using Compare & Select, candidates could easily and objectively be matched with the position based on the Future Maker Profile. The dashboard presented a clear ranking, based on competences and work and thinking level, which allowed Berenschot Search to quickly select the right candidates.
'With a few clicks, we got a ranking of the candidates, where both cognitive abilities and competences were taken into account. This gave us quick insight, which helped us make the selection and saved us a lot of time.' - Dorinda Honkoop, Consultant Executive Search, Recruitment & Selection, Berenschot
With the help of the Compare & Select tool and the impressions left by the candidates in the interviews, Berenschot Search was able to make a high-quality selection in a short time. Of the 185 applicants for this career switch, 28 candidates were actually appointed. The client was very satisfied with the speed and quality of the selection process and expressed its appreciation for the result.
Compare & Select is a data-driven tool that makes the recruitment process faster, more objective and efficient. Thanks to flexible competency weighting, it increases the likelihood of successful matches and encourages sustainable candidate management. Compare & Select saves valuable time in the selection process, promotes diversity and transparency, and helps minimise human biases in selection processes. See here for more information.
