The Volta Search Process
Volta Search partners with clients to deliver a data-driven multi-layered, scientific & objective recruiting process.
We can do this more cost-effectively than everyday recruiters as our process has been developed to improve candidate evaluation, help eliminate bias, improve suitability, eradicate bad hiring, and increase first-year new hire retention from a typical 70% to 96%+.
We deliver this service to our clients through a convenient easy-to-use “always available” integrated tech platform.
Step 1: Alignment
Hiring teams often spend hours finalizing the Job Description with a primary focus on the technical or skillset requirements but overlook the required personality traits and behaviors a person will need to be successful in the role and their company.
Volta works in partnership with the McQuaig Institute to implement a simple but practical tool called the McQuaig Job Survey that enables hiring managers to identify the behavioral requirements for a specific role.
The resulting report outlines the strengths an ideal candidate should possess and the management considerations that come with those strengths. It helps managers achieve consensus on job demands and supplies focused behavioral interview and reference checking questions.
​
The report we provide supports the entire employee lifecycle
Step 2: Sourcing, Engagement and Screening of candidates by Volta Search
Recruitment processes that rely on advertising with the view of avoiding third party recruitment costs limit the candidate pool significantly.
On average, around 70% of the skilled candidates in the market are not actively searching for a new opportunity and would require a proactive approach presenting an attractive career opportunity.
​
Volta Search maps the available market, proactively approaches the strongest potential candidates and uses our purpose-built candidate briefing pack to gain interest.
​
The behavioral focused screening process then assesses technically competent candidates to efficiently benchmark them against the Mcquaig Job Survey report, giving a job fit graph, detailed analysis of behavioral fit and a supporting interview checklist.

Step 3: Candidate Presentation
Volta Search utilizes our online client platform to give a transparent and useable overview of the process, significantly better than filtering through your inbox to find resumes...
Each candidate profile is supported by an executive summary, video introduction and answers to key competency questions that we agree at the beginning of the process.

Reduce time wasted interviewing the wrong people
Step 4: Process Management
Through agreeing a project timeline at the start of the process, Volta Search provides a client and candidate experience that is transparent and minimizes commercial downtime. From the beginning, we will have timelines to deliver a candidate shortlist, interview dates and process, and a resulting timeframe for a candidate offer, acceptance and start date.
​
The resulting partnership delivers exceptional hires, with a supporting development documentation to ensure long term retention and success.
