Second Opinion

Academic Search can contribute with, as an independent party, make an in-depth assessment of the candidates in your recruitment process.

A Second Opinion gives you a broader description of the candidate’s personality than after your own interview. Academic Search tries to identify, strengthen and clarify different qualities / competencies of the candidates, but also development areas and potentially sensitive parts that you can include as input to future development talks.

You get the opportunity to tailor the arrangement based on what you feel you need help with. Maybe you have two perfect final candidates and you need help making a decision about who is most suitable for the position. Or you have a candidate that you have evaluated and find interesting based on, for example, driving forces and personal qualities, but you find it difficult to evaluate the candidate’s skills.

Why is Second Opinion a good alternative when you as a customer do not outsource the entire recruitment process to us?

◾ You want an independent party that makes an objective and in-depth assessment
◾ You have internal candidates and want to gain new insights about these
◾ You want to gain more insights about your candidates with the help of logical proficiency tests and / or personality tests
◾ You want to have your opinions confirmed to ensure that the candidate is right for the assignment
