Talent recruiting and development solutions provider Cappfinity has announced the launch of Tempo in the US market to accelerate fair and inclusive recruiting.
Tempo is a new pre-interview assessment designed to help organisations accelerate inclusive recruiting amid an unprecedented hiring surge across the US. The Bureau of Labor Statistics recently reported 8.1 million open jobs in the US, the highest amount since the bureau began tracking the data in December 2000.
LEVELLING THE PLAYING FIELD
“While the current race for talent in the US poses some challenges, it’s also an opportunity to replace decades of ineffective hiring practices with more inclusive recruiting methods that accelerate hiring, reduce cost per hire, and support an organisation’s goals,” said Cappfinity CEO and Co-Founder Dr Alex Linley. “Strengths-based assessments and approaches ensure a standardised recruiting process that levels the playing field for all candidates. Now with Tempo, organisations can identify the most qualified candidates according to their specific needs within minutes.”
Tempo accelerates the recruiting process, requiring minimum candidate input while providing maximum candidate insight for the recruiter, according to Cappfinity. It does this by honing in on the most relevant elements of four talent predictors; skills, experience, personality and strengths. The system also captures both the candidate’s ability and desire to perform a task; critical to a particular role. Tempo delivers a “rich overview of a candidate, which allows recruiters to quickly identify the most promising applicants, thereby all but eliminating candidate drop-off”. Candidates also receive a summary, which can be used to prepare for other upcoming interviews.
RECRUITMENT SUCCESS
Since 2005, Cappfinity’s team of scientists and consultants have assisted emerging global organisations with filling talent gaps, increasing inclusive hiring, improving employee engagement, and developing leaders, said the company. It has assisted HSBC through its Skills of the Future programme, which aims to promote career paths in international banking to candidates from underrepresented populations. It has also helped FourBlock, a non-profit using Cappfinity to help veterans and military spouses demonstrate their strengths to hiring managers.
“Cappfinity is instrumental in supporting our mission to prepare veterans and military spouses in their transition from military service to meaningful civilian careers,” stated Lisa Stern, Director of Program Impact & Assessment for FourBlock. “With Cappfinity, our programme participants can learn more about their unique strengths, as well as how to apply them in the job seeking and interviewing process for greater success in achieving their full potential.”
