The Recruitment And Selection Process

Decent Essays

Previously to their current recruitment and selection process, Intuit used to put much emphasis on behavioral interviewing. Their past methods were based on the star technique, where the interviewers are set up by the manager. They would assess what job candidates would do in certain scenarios. The overall interview process involved about three rounds of interviews: 1 phone interview and 2 on-site interviews. The on-site interviews would involve the hiring manager plus 10-12 other different people. After assessing this process, the managers found out that Intuit was not hiring the best candidates that they could and the candidates did not have a great experience when moving through the recruitment process. Moreover, they found out that the interview process was way too long and that they were not able to hire the best candidate available in a timely manner, which was essential for meeting future project goals. In order to improve the recruitment and selection process, Intuit looked at other companies for best practices and molded their own processes in that image. After observing how other top companies recruited the best job candidates, Intuit was able to create a new process called “Assessing for Awesome”, which is designed to recruit and select high quality talent in a timely manner.
