Identifying, attracting, assessing and hiring the right fit

Hire better, perform better.

At Academic Work, predicting future job performance is what we do best.

Because recruitment is all about anticipating the future. With limited information, we must determine whether someone has the potential to excel in a role. To get it right we rely on data and scientific methods.

We take pride in assessing only those abilities that are scientifically proven to correlate with actual job performance. 



We focus on the skills that are most critical for early-career professional to thrive. By doing so, we increase the likelihood of identifying top talent, reduce the risk of placing someone in the wrong role, and ensure our process is free from stereotypes and biases. We call this approach Evidence-Based Recruitment.

The benefits of recruitment

Finding your perfect fit isn’t done on a whim. You need to create a job profile, write an attractive job ad, conduct interviews, and make countless decisions along the way. On top of that, you need to reach and attract the right candidate.

When you partner with us, you gain access to our extensive network of early-career professionals as well as our recruitment expertise. Minimise the risk of costly mis-hires and free up valuable time to focus on what matters most to your business.

Our recruitment process in 6 steps

01

Define

Our work starts with understanding your needs. Really understanding. We begin with a thorough work and needs analysis to pinpoint the key tasks, skills, abilities, and behaviours required for the role. By defining these upfront, we ensure we're on the same page.

02

Attract

This involves crafting job ads, engaging relevant target groups, and using targeted search strategies to reach both wide and relevant. We make sure that the job description reflects the work environment and expectations, giving candidates a clear sense of what the role involves.

03

Assess

We use a variety of proven tools to assess candidates. This includes psychometric testing, profile screening, structured interviews, and knowledge evaluation. Our aim is to not just assess skills, but also potential, ensuring we get a full picture. The goal is consistency and objectivity in the selection process, ensuring no one is judged based on bias or assumptions (or just CV:s)

04

Verify

To make sure we have found your perfect fit, clients are encouraged to verify the assessments through further interviews and checks. This step gives extra confidence that the candidate not only meets the expectations but will thrive in the role. Top candidates are presented to the client, with a rounded picture of each and how they might fit within your team.

05

Hire

We get the contract signed. This smooth transition from recruitment to employment ensures the new hire feels supported from day one, helping them settle in quickly and start contributing.

06
