Shilton Sharpe Quarry recruits partners, teams and associates on behalf of our law firm clients and in-house lawyers at all levels of seniority for our corporate and banking clients.
We recognise that client law firms are not just interested in attracting top talent, they are becoming increasingly concerned about retaining the talent they already employ. SSQ can assist in both areas.
We have made the pool of available candidates larger through the introduction of our international division, allowing clients to recruit the top talent not only from Australia but also from Canada, South Africa, the UK and New Zealand.
Through SSQ's association with the Holst Group, the European distributor of The McQuaig Psychometric Testing System, we offer various tools to our clients to assist in the selection and effective retention of their lawyers.
Psychometric Assessments
Today legal recruitment in a mature market demands a more sophisticated and scientific approach. By pioneering the use of psychometric assessments Shilton Sharpe Quarry has successfully reduced the risk within legal recruitment.
Psychometric assessments assist clients to make informed recruitment decisions. We provide them free of charge as part of our core service.
For effective recruitment in today's world it is necessary to look further than just identifying the appropriate skills and experience of a candidate. For a candidate to flourish in a role, employers must also identify culturally how a candidate will perform in their specific environment.
Unfortuanately clients often only find out that a candidate they hired is culturally or behaviourally incompatable many months after the candidate has began their employment. The candidate may have been good on paper and credible in person but might not have fit in with the culture of the organisation. In order to avoid costly recruitment errors SSQ offers candidates the opportunity to undertake a psychometric assessment so that clients can get an idea about a candidate's cultural fit.
A psychometric assessment is not a test - it is just an effective tool to complement the factual due diligence a client will undertake before making an important recruitment decision.
