STAFFING & RECRUITING

The interview ends. Your endorsement comes next.
A candidate’s interview media raises a concern. The recruiting team needs to resolve it before the client commits time to the next stage.

Recruiter effort and placement credibility
Client-review time
Recruiters can resolve an interview concern within the firm before asking the client to commit time to the candidate.
Placement credibility
The assessment sits alongside identity, reference and background work in the decision to endorse a candidate; it does not replace those controls.
Client handoff
Your reviewer defines who will follow up and what must be disclosed under the client agreement before presentation.
