XFACTOR: A Better Way to Hire Quality Talent

Posted November 28, 2017

Are you looking for a better way to hire quality talent?

Instead of using traditional staffing methods, opt for the science and data-based hiring process that improve your chances of finding quality talent.  

There are a number of reasons why traditional staffing is ineffective.

Recruiters are stretched thin, and are often forced to make judgments based on little information. In fact, the average recruiter spends six seconds on each resume. After making a quick assessment, recruiters reach out to the "best" candidate – and they may be fooled by a candidate's charm or bloated resume.

Typically interviews are unstructured, which doesn't leave a level field. Without a level field, comparing candidates becomes more about bias and less about facts and skills. 

The result? You're extending an offer to a candidate based on nothing more than feelings.

At Nextaff, we think there's a better way.

With the XFACTOR, we've developed a more predictable process to hire quality talent. We use reliable screening tools to find and narrow down the perfect candidate for you. This tool greatly improves your candidate hiring accuracy.

How does XFACTOR work?

We'll kick off the process with you to review what's gone well in the past – and what hasn't. Afterall, what makes up your ideal employee? We'll put together a road map for successful hires, as well as a profile and detailed job description for each position.

We find potential talent through social media, job boards, and refferrals. This way we tap into both the active and passive candidate markets to find the most qualified individuals for the roles you need filled. Candidates are given an assessment, and  we select the highest scoring individuals to phone screen. Our interviews are structured which makes comparing candidates easier and less biased. After the screening, we take the top candidates and have them come in for a face to face interview to make sure everything checks out in person as well.

Only our top choices make their way to you for a final interview. One small round of interviews for you of only XFACTOR vetted and approved candidates is all that it takes! The only thing you'll need to worry about is choosing which highly qualified person you would like to fill the role in your company.
