Methods

At Nor Selection, we work to ensure that our clients and candidates find each other with our assistance, and that we, as advisers, ensure the path to a future working relationship in the best possible way.

 

Interview

Interview is the best way to give the candidate more information about the company and the position. At the same time, we want to uncover the candidate’s motivation for the position, get an overview of the candidate’s education and experience, as well as the candidate’s personal characteristics. We use several rounds of interviews where the candidate and client have the opportunity to get to know each other well.

Case

A practical case is used to see how the candidate approaches relevant tasks related to the position. In addition, the candidate’s understanding of the business and the industry is revealed, as well as the ability to reason and present.

Reference check of candidate

Candidate reference checks are always carried out by the adviser who has followed the entire process, as we are close to all parties in the process.

We recommend a minimum of 2-3 reference checks, preferably a combination of the following references:
A reference the candidate has reported to
A reference the candidate has been compared to
A reference candidate has been a leader for

Test

Nor Selection uses several test tools linked to candidates in the final phase of the process. Nor Selection has a close and good collaboration with Master Management Norge AS, which supplies DNV-certified ability and personality tests.

OPTO is a personality test where the scores give you information about the candidate’s most important drivers for job performance and the extent to which the candidate matches the job’s requirements for personal qualities.

ACE and CORE are cognitive ability tests designed to assess logical analytical reasoning. The tasks in ACE and CORE explore and uncover this ability and make it possible to assess the potential of the individual’s analytical and logical abilities.

All advisers in Nor Selection are certified users of the test tool. Read more about the individual test and test tool at www.master.no or contact us for more information.

Semac

Semac AS is Norway’s leading supplier of background checks. Nor Selection Rekruttering has collaborated with Semac AS for a long time, and buys services from the company, which conducts background checks on candidates at the end of a recruitment process.

A background check is essentially an independent 3rd party verification of the information provided by the job applicant, as well as a review of a number of security-related checkpoints. A background check from Semac can uncover everything from irregularities relating to CVs, experience, competence and education to a history of outrageous statements, breaches of the criminal law, conflicts and reputation issues.

Background checks increase the quality of the internal recruitment work, strengthen the employer’s reputation and have a preventive effect on the non-serious part of the applicant pool.
