Case: Pilot for , Competency-Based Selection
Customer challenge
The Municipality of Hilversum was committed to taking a major step towards objective selection and ensuring equal opportunities for all applicants. Their challenge was to implement a process that would:
- Provide clear insight and validation of the competencies of applicants, specifically targeting their existing KCC (Customer Contact Center) talent pool.
- Equip recruiters, HR, and hiring managers with objective, data-driven tools to make the matching process as efficient and unbiased as possible.
- Ultimately, create a more sustainable match between the organization and its future employees, thereby saving time and costs in the selection process.
Situation
The municipality was ready to move beyond traditional, subjective selection methods and adopted a mindset of Competency-Driven Recruitment and Selection. The project was initiated as a focused, small-scale pilot to quickly experience the value of Recrout’s matching technology. The initial focus was on quickly setting up a job profile to integrate into the platform
Our approach
Recrout delivered a white-label matching platform (Softmatch) to serve as the technological engine for their objective selection goals. The solution was designed to be low-threshold and easily integrated into their existing recruitment process, focusing on the core principle of matching based on competencies and potential. The process for the pilot was simplified into three steps:
- Job Profiling: The recruiter creates the job profile and the culture profile for the municipality.
- Competency Assessment: The candidate completes the competency assessment at a convenient time.
- Magic Match: The Recrout system performs the objective, data-driven matching.
