Could your hiring processes be screening out top talent
We design candidate screening processes that sift large pools of talent – fairly and efficiently – so you don’t risk missing out on top talent.
Ready to streamline your screening?
When sifting hundreds or thousands of job applicants, efficiency is crucial.
But without a fair and bias-free process, the perfect candidates may fall through the cracks.
At Pearn Kandola, we believe in opening doors to opportunity for every candidate. This means you’ll benefit from a wider pool of candidates and know you’re hiring inclusively – from the cream of the crop.
Our candidate screening is designed to reshape your hiring process, making it a beacon of fairness, efficiency and inclusivity.
We specialise in creating recruitment processes that attract and identify top-tier talent while ensuring every applicant, regardless of their background, gets a fair chance to shine.
As pioneers in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), our solutions are backed by business psychology, in-house research, and a commitment to crafting bespoke tools that cater to your unique needs
We infuse the insights of our team of highly experienced business psychologists with cutting-edge technology and the latest research from our in-house research psychologists.
This is what sets us apart – a fusion of tradition and innovation, wisdom and vision. We don’t just follow trends; we create them.
Unlike off-the-shelf solutions, our services are meticulously designed, ensuring they are tailored to meet your specific needs.
Here’s what you can expect from our candidate screening design services:
We understand the significance of fairness in the recruitment process. It benefits both you and your candidates.
Our team of experts craft objective candidate and resume screening processes, as well as collateral for every stage of the attraction and selection process that eliminate bias and foster diversity.
These processes are meticulously customised to your organisation’s culture, values, and requirements, ensuring that each candidate is evaluated based on their true potential.
Your organisation has a unique story to tell, and we help you communicate yours to candidates in the most compelling way.
Our candidate screening solutions not only evaluate candidates but also offer them an immersive experience of your business, increasing their engagement and connection with your organisation from the very start.
Our bespoke assessment exercises are tailored to mirror the challenges and opportunities candidates will face within your organisation.
By doing so, we not only assess their skills but also provide them with a glimpse of their future roles, making the screening process an insightful, motivating and more realistic experience.
In the digital age, video speaks volumes. Our video-based screening tools bring job roles to life, giving candidates a realistic preview of what lies ahead.
By offering this interactive experience, we enhance candidate engagement, reduce surprises, and make sure expectations align from the start.
We have been working with clients to utilise the power of Situational Judgement Tests (SJTs) to improve assessment quality through all stages of the selection funnel.
SJTs provide powerful, “real life” and often cost effective improvements that diminish adverse impact.
This improves the quality of each assessment stage by ensuring the very best candidates are identified – and not unfairly excluded.
Screening interviews are crucial. We enhance their efficiency and effectiveness by crafting interview frameworks that align with your organisation’s values and goals.
With our expert guidance, your interviews become powerful tools for selecting the right candidates while maintaining a fair and inclusive process.
Unbiased pre-employment screening is a testament to your organisation’s commitment to building an inclusive workplace where talent is recognised and valued, regardless of a candidate’s background.
By embracing this approach, you don’t just fulfil a requirement.
You create a culture of integrity and equity that resonates with both employees and clients. You’re also more likely to attract a wider, more diverse and talented pool of applicants, so you can rest assured no top talent will fall through the cracks.
Our expertise lies in designing pre-employment screening processes that go beyond the surface.
We delve into the core skills, experiences, and potential that each candidate brings to the table – and weave this into a streamlined, efficient process – ensuring that your decisions are rooted in merit.
By utilising objective assessment tools, tailored exercises, and innovative technology, we make sure that your pre-employment screening is as unbiased as it is effective.
Our legacy speaks for itself.
We’ve been recognised as a “Great Place to Work” and have received accolades for our innovative approach. Our services have transformed recruitment for major organisations around the world, resulting in cost savings and elevating candidate quality.
Our inclusive recruitment services are rooted in business psychology, proven in our extensive experience, and driven by our in-house research.
Our candidate screening solutions yield tangible benefits:
Through automation and fair, company-specific candidate screening processes we cut costs and limit your spend during the process.
For example, by introducing an automated screening process to a major graduate recruiter, we reduced their costs by £150,000 p.a.
We also worked with a FTSE 100 retailer to improve their graduate screening programme. The result was a 50% reduction in their assessment centres because the screenings produced a significantly higher calibre of candidates.
We customise screening tools, such as Situational Judgement Tests, to reflect real-life situations encountered by your people.
Candidates will have a better understanding of – and connection to – your organisation as a result.
This not only distinguishes you as a recruiter and helps maintain interest but ensures role requirements are clearly assessed, improving selection outcomes.
Independent research of a major UK-based recruitment programme showed our Situational Judgement Test (SJT) design delivered better diversity results than verbal and numerical reasoning tests.
Our tests were also shown to predict future performance accurately.
This improved efficiency with our SJT suitable to screen larger numbers of candidates without affecting diversity outcomes.
