Job Description Development

A job description is a summary of the basic knowledge, skills, abilities and other attributes that a candidate must possess in order to complete a job satisfactorily. Job descriptions are vital to recruiting and hiring the right employee. We can assist your organization with the development of an appropriate job description for all occupations.

Recruitment

Recruitment is the process of generating a qualified applicant pool for consideration in filling a job vacancy. At Puglisevich, we use a variety of recruitment methods: advertising positions at job and career fairs; networking events; job postings in newspapers, online, and in business journals; conducting thorough database searches, and through communication with our extensive network of contacts. Puglisevich is committed to the ethical and professional recruitment of all candidates.

Interviewing

Job interviews are an essential part of the evaluation and screening of potential candidates. Whether conducted in-person or by telephone, interviews require significant preparation for any organization.

We use interviews to successfully identify the ideal candidate or to narrow the qualified applicant pool to a manageable level should multiple rounds need to be conducted. Many clients wish to participate in the final interview process with job candidates. We assist by identifying ideal candidates to be interviewed, scheduling interviews for your convenience and hosting in-house interviews between your organization and the job candidate(s). Utilizing our in-house boardroom is attractive to clients who may not have the resources to conduct an interview or when confidentiality is a concern.

Testing

As part of our diverse staffing services, Puglisevich can conduct pre-employment applicant screening tests. Puglisevich is capable of administering a wide range of tests to determine essential skills necessary for employment at all levels from workforce to boardroom. In cases where a detailed candidate profile is required, we can provide enhanced candidate evaluation, screening and analysis.

We are capable of performing tests on a variety of essential skills necessary for most employment opportunities. In addition, we can provide a custom-designed testing program encompassing hard skill, soft skill and personality testing that will allow you to develop a well-balanced picture of all potential employees.

Verification of Education and Certifications

Part of a thorough screening process includes verifying the accuracy of a candidate’s education, including licenses and certificates pertaining to his or her field of expertise.

It is advantageous for organizations to demonstrate due diligence and verify all credentials at an early stage in order to prevent legal issues in the future. As this process is very time-consuming, it is often overlooked by many employers. For this reason, we can check if stated education, licenses and certificates were accurately reported by job candidates.

Reference and Background Checks

Past performance is often considered one of the best indicators of a candidate’s future job performance. It is important to contact previous employers to verify information presented on a candidate’s application materials. The completion of reference checks requires a trained individual who knows what questions to ask, what type of references are appropriate and how to avoid invasive and discriminatory questions. Our experienced recruiters are trained in completing reference checks. As part of a thorough screening process, we ensure that a minimum of three professional references are checked for all candidates who have successfully passed the interview process.

Although the completion of three reference checks is typically sufficient for most positions, in specific instances, you may request that we continue the screening process to encompass a thorough background check. Positions that are sensitive in nature or those that are vital to the success of your organization may require candidates to have a background check completed. Background checks can decrease the possibility of a bad hire and protect your company from negligent hiring.
