How the BQO & PQO Have Helped Our Clients

 

Selecting trainees for a leading technology company using a combination of the Biographical Questionnaire Online (BQO) and a high end Assessment Center


A leading technology company manufacturing high tech opto-digital and medical devices selected us to redesign their trainee selection process. For each job opening, they receive between 100 and 300 applications, creating a huge workload for the company’s HR specialists.

In a joint project, a two-stage selection process was designed and implemented. In stage 1 of the process, applicants complete the Biographical Questionnaire Online (BQO). The top applicants in the Biographical Questionnaire Online (BQO) participate in a subsequent 1-day state of the art Assessment Center. The top candidates in the Assessment Center are offered a position in the company.

Through the combination of an internet-based pre-selection instrument geared at processing high volumes of applications efficiently and an in-depth Assessment Center geared at taking a close look at the most promising applicants, the company manages to pick the very best applicants out of a large pool of applicants using a highly efficient, streamlined selection process.
