The McQuaig Word Survey®

Employees succeed when they have the right key behavioural requirements, such as a high sense of urgency or the ability to make decisions. You need tools to help you find the right person - with the right temperament.

The McQuaig Word Survey®

• takes away the gut-feel and guesswork from recruitment. Understanding a candidate’s temperament greatly improves your ability to predict on-the-job performance.
• dramatically improves your interview process. Managers can use customised behavioural interview questions and probes to increase objectivity and consistency in the interview process. By focusing on behavioural factors relevant to success, managers use their time more effectively and make more informed decisions.
• is a comprehensive, easy to use psychometric tool built for line managers. The Understanding, Managing and Developing Reports help the manager engage with their employees.

Why should you use the McQuaig Word Survey®?

1. Learn as much as you can about an individual’s work habits before you make a role offer.
2. Understand the temperament and behaviour patterns that candidates will bring to the role: for instance, their level of urgency, people focus, sales orientation or independence.
3. Create a list of focused interview questions based on the candidate’s own profile.

How does it work?

• The candidate for a position fills it out on-line (or on paper). Usually, this takes no more than twenty minutes.
• You are sent via email or web the individual’s Word Survey® Report.
  
• The Report includes an extensive, in-depth analysis of the individual, a list of interviewing questions and an idea of fit, based on your established benchmark
  

It’s quick and easy. You get results that are simple to understand and immediately useful in the hiring process.
