Three steps to recruiting the right applicant.

The first step in any personnel selection process involves drawing up a profile of requirements. The problem is that, in the course of time job requirements can change. Our scientifically based job analysis process anticipates these changes and yields results that remain relevant to success over time. In the second step, all the applicants are examined to see how fully they meet the requirement characteristics relevant for success on the job. In this part of the selection process we use precise, reliable measuring instruments that can be assessed by referring to scientifically guaranteed standards. The third step, program evaluation, shows the interrelationship between applicants' characteristics and job success, and what kind of prediction can be made with regard to a new potential job.

Our work – applied science.

The work carried out by S & F Personalpsychologie focuses on the customer-tailored development of company-specific personnel selection instruments – matched in every case to meet the requirements of the job, the company, and the industry, and always at the highest scientific level. Together with our clients we develop the right instrument for the specific need. At the same time, the applicant perspective obtains an extremely important position in our approach: consistent with the concept of social validity as described by Prof. Schuler, our methodology attaches great importance to fairness and the high acceptance of our processes – and not only in the interest of our client's personnel marketing. We also meet the most demanding quality requirements in other fields where we are active – from personnel training, through the assessment of job performance, to measuring organizational change and market research – in each area we develop a solution to meet your company's requirements.
