If you have any questions, please call 0845 456 400. We look forward supporting our clients with The McQuaig System™ and the fuller Holst Group portfolio in 2010.

The Holst Group Managing Director, Iain Chalmers, says, “This award is a clear illustration of the care our clients take when approaching their staff. Not all organisations  recruit, manage and develop their staff in a way that recognises their natural strengths. To be included in 100 Best Companies’ demonstrates a high level of involvement throughout the whole organisation  from the board room to the shop floor”.

For those in receipt of a CV there is always the knowledge that the information being presented before them is merely edited highlights. However, the growing trend of more graphical CV’s is changing the dynamics of CV presentation.

Iain Chalmers, Director of The Holst Group explained, “For years, candidates and prospective clients have had a shared believe that clear and concise CV’s have been required. There is now a growing trend toward more graphically led CV’s. Employers are instantly able to see where a potential employee’s skill set lies and how their experience was gained.

“It is important to note that key techniques such as the Three Levels of Appraisal will continue to play a pivotal role in interview situations. Presentation, attitudes and aptitudes are part of the foundation to any successful interview process as is psychometric testing.

However, we do believe that the art of CV development into more graphically produced documents will become more main stream as part of the interview process over the next eighteen months to two years.”

For many, career planning is an annual event – a chance to review progress over the previous twelve months and to plan ahead. This exercise normally requires a significant revision to the more traditional CV; however, this may no longer be the case as graphically led resumes will clearly highlight historical facts and ongoing skills that have been developed.

Many still believe that the more traditional CV will remain the main template used in the HR field. However, there are a growing number of specialists in the HR field that believe that CV development is set to change.

Press release 01/07/09

Psychometric Testing is now available for SME’s

Professional recruitment is now affordable, practical and easy to use for SME’s as The Holst Group launches the SME Package.

Psychometric testing is equally as important no matter how large or small the company and the SME Package will help find the right people.

High cost of recruitment

The CIPD has measured the average cost of recruitment as over £10k per employee. This includes the usual advertising costs, agency fees etc. It also includes the hidden costs like vacancy cover, training and induction costs

“In a recession it is important to identify the right people for key roles,” says The Holst Group Managing Director Iain Chalmers. “The current influx of candidates makes this even harder.”

“Recruiting is always a challenge and getting it wrong is NOT an option for an SME. As an SME ourselves we know the advantage of having the right people in our business”.

SME Package

The SME Package from The Holst Group includes:

• Access to online psychometric testing

• Easy to use reports to help you pick the right person

• Direct access to consultants with a proven track record of successful recruitment

• Bonus: tailored reports to manage, motivate and develop the successful candidate

• Guarantee: full money back guarantee
