The inability to retain staff has a real a measurable cost to businesses in the UK and around the world. It is widely accepted that it costs at least £8,000 to recruit a new person. In the event they don’t succeed in the role the ‘lost opportunity’ really hits the bottom line.
A CV is typically a good indicator of whether a person has been successful in past jobs and gained experience. It is not a reliable indicator of future success. McQuaig gives a hiring manager the information they need to understand the personality behind the CV. McQuaig also gives the interviewer the right questions to ask during the interview process.

McQuaig for Interviewers and Hiring Managers
Psychometric assessment is just part of the hiring process. Interviews provide information tests can’t reach. Research shows that interviews, references and application forms are very bad at predicting whether people will succeed.
Yet interviews alone lack objectivity because you will be hugely influenced by your prejudices, likes and dislikes without realising it.
