Andrew Banks on recruiting

Screening people out is easy. Finding the fit is the job.

Keyword filters are good at removing people. Wrong title, wrong background, gone. Andrew Banks argues those are often the people worth a call. A culture match ranks every candidate on fit with the client's best people, so the ones a filter would drop still surface.

What Andrew is describing

  • Recruitment technology is great at screening people out. Compono screens them in
  • Wrong keyword. Wrong title. Wrong background. Gone
  • It shows you who fits the client's culture and their best people, even when the resume doesn't look perfect
  • The best candidate isn't always the obvious one

How a culture match works

1

Send the client a link

One link, sent by the recruiter on the desk. Nothing to install. The client passes it to their best people.

2

Their best people complete a profile

The top performers in that business answer it online in under ten minutes. Back comes a profile the client agrees reads like them.

3

Every candidate is compared to it

The comparison runs at the top end of the funnel, before a CV is screened, so the shortlist reaches the client with the fit already on it.

Common questions

Screening out removes people for a missing keyword, title or background. Screening in looks for the people who fit the client's best performers even when the resume is untidy. Compono Hire does both, so the keyword filter never has the last word.

No. Skills and qualifications still score, and they show beside the fit. The change is that a strong fit with a thin resume is visible instead of gone.

Recruitment technology has become very good at screening people out. Wrong keyword, wrong title, wrong background, gone. And with AI, it's even worse. And sometimes those are exactly the people you should be talking to.

Compono screens people in. It shows you who fits the client's culture and their best people, even when the resume doesn't look perfect, because the best candidate isn't always the obvious one. Compono.
