The iQuasar Solution

iQuasar analyzed the need of the Client and accordingly devised a strategy to identify appropriate fit candidates for the requirement. The considerations for iQuasar were:

• Be cost-effective
• Do not inundate the Client with many resumes but identify the best fit candidate quickly
• Maintain quality

iQuasar actuated its iQHire© recruitment process that enforces strict Service Level Agreement (SLA) needs and initiated a search in its internal databases and commercially licensed software tools. Given the depth of information within our company databases for hundreds of thousands of candidates, our team quickly identified potential resources for this particular requirement. They were shortlisted for the fit with the required criteria and we conducted the first round of telephonic interviews of these shortlisted candidates. After their telephonic interviews, we conducted another interview for more in-depth screening and cultural fit. iQuasar submitted resumes of some of the best candidates to the Client for further screening.

iQuasar’s Staffing clients usually conduct their own telephonic interviews followed by a face-to-face interview. Our client found a professionally sound candidate through this process and decided to offer them the position. The candidate accepted the offer and is working with our Client.
