Large Transport Company recruiting an Accountant
It’s now been 6 months since we used the Cultural Profiler report to recruit for our Accountant role. During this time our selected candidate has proved herself to be a great cultural fit for both the wider organisation but more importantly the close knit accounts team. She’s responded well to the dynamic of this team and is helping us develop our day to day tasks into more structured process.
On using the Cultural Profiler to help recruit for this role I found it very easy to use and useful in helping to assist in identifying candidates who would have been less suited for the team. It also saved time in the interview process by helping eliminate the generic personality type questions. This enabled us to tailor our interview more around the cultural issues that we thought might arise during employment as well as allowing more time to focus on the candidate’s technical skills and expertise.
