Finding the right candidate for your business goes beyond a good CV and interview performance. It’s about ensuring they have the skills, experience, and cultural fit to thrive in your unique work environment. More than half (54%) of UK employers are planning to shift to a skills-based hiring process rather than focus on jobseekers’ education. That’s where our new product, MEASURE, comes into play. By utilising behavioural, psychometric, and organisational assessment tools, Identifi MEASURE helps businesses streamline their recruitment process and find the perfect match for their company. A skills based- hiring approach prioritises a candidates abilities and knowledge over past jobs titles and education, leading to a more effective recruitment process.

Identifi MEASURE: The Solution to Skills-Based Hiring
Identifi MEASURE is designed to address the specific needs of skills-based hiring. Here’s how:
- Objective Skills Assessment: MEASURE employs a variety of tools to objectively evaluate a candidate’s skills, ensuring that hiring decisions are based on concrete data rather than subjective impressions. This includes behavioural and psychometric assessments that measure a candidate’s true abilities.
- Customized Job Fit Analysis: By analysing the specific skills required for each role, MEASURE helps in creating tailored job descriptions focusing on the skills needed. This helps in attracting candidates who are a better fit for the role from the start.
- Enhanced Diversity and Inclusion: Skills-based hiring, supported by MEASURE, reduces biases associated with traditional hiring methods. By focusing on skills, organisations can tap into a more diverse talent pool, fostering an inclusive work environment.
- Continuous Skills Development: MEASURE not only helps in hiring the right talent but also in identifying development needs for current employees. This aligns with the skills-based hiring philosophy of continuous learning and development, ensuring employees grow and adapt to new challenges.
- Real-Time Feedback and Adaptation: The platform allows for real-time feedback and adaptation of hiring processes. As organisational needs evolve, MEASURE provides the flexibility to adjust assessment criteria and processes, ensuring alignment with business goals.
