7 recruitment mistakes to avoid… and how Cebir can help you

Recruitment is a crucial step for any company. Yet common mistakes can compromise the quality of hires, harm productivity and increase turnover. In this article, we present the most common pitfalls to avoid, while showing how the psychometric tests offered by Cebir are an effective solution for strengthening your selection processes.

Mistake no. 1: A vague definition of the position to be filled

Failing to define precisely the skills and qualifications required makes it difficult to select the right profiles. A poorly targeted job offer attracts unsuitable candidates. With Cebir’s psychometric tests, you can objectively assess key skills such as memory, leadership, logic, learning ability and communication. This enables you to target the right candidates, right from the start.

Mistake no. 2: Letting yourself be influenced by cognitive biases

Biases such as similarity bias, halo effect or confirmation bias distort the assessment of candidates. Cebir tools provide a scientific, standardized and objective assessment of technical and behavioral skills. Our standards are based on representative and diversified samples. Control scales, such as the social desirability scale in our personality tests, guarantee authentic results.

Mistake no. 3: Relying too much on CVs and experience

CVs don’t always reflect a candidate’s real skills. Information may be embellished, or even false. Cebir offers over 60 ready-to-use test batteries for assessing specific professions: engineers, salespeople, lawyers, careers, and so on. In this way, you can assess real abilities, regardless of previous experience.

Mistake no. 4: Neglecting soft skills assessment

Behavioral skills are essential for integration and teamwork. With Cebir tests, you can assess your ability to manage stress, cooperate and communicate… all essential criteria for success in many positions.

Mistake no. 5: Ignoring cultural fit

A candidate who is poorly adapted to the company’s culture will find it difficult to fit in. Our personality tests and role-playing exercises enable you to assess in advance whether the candidate’s values and behaviors are compatible with your environment. This significantly reduces the risk of premature departures.

Mistake no. 6: Excluding managers from the recruitment process

Line managers have a clear picture of job requirements. Cebir facilitates collaboration between HR and managers thanks to detailed, clear and shareable assessment reports. These reports even include suggested interview questions, based on the test results.

Mistake no. 7: Not using the right recruitment tools

A process that takes too long or is insufficiently structured often results in the loss of talent. With Cebir solutions, you can automate certain stages of the recruitment process, while guaranteeing objective assessments. You gain in time, efficiency and accuracy.
