CANDIDATE PROFILING AND INTERVIEWING TECHNIQUES

We asses our candidates based on their core competencies. These can be broken down into:  attitude, knowledge, skills, motivations and aspirations. This ensures the very best profile matches for your specific requirements. 

Attitude: We will evaluate a candidate’s mental attitude when approaching work, involving beliefs, feelings, values and dispositions to act when faced with demanding sales situations. 

Knowledge: How well do they know their industry, including products and customers within them? We will assess the expertise a person has acquired through experience, education, theoretical or practical means.

Skill: Skill can be determined by how well a candidate can apply their knowledge. To help us understand this we will explore how successful a candidate’s sales career has been and how easily they can learn then apply new skills.

Motivations And Aspirations: What motivated them to look for another career opportunity? Understanding their goals/aspirations can help us to understand what has driven them in their career so far.  This is a crucial profiling aid when helping to minimise staff attrition
