The psychology behind successful job matches

In the complex world of recruitment, understanding the underlying psychology between candidate and company is crucial. At QGROUP, we recognize that a successful job match goes beyond checking off skills and experience on a resume. It's about deeply understanding personalities, motivations, and work preferences that benefit both the candidate and the organization.

Personality Compatibility and Corporate Culture.

At QGROUP, we understand that the success of an organization is partly determined by how well its employees fit into the company culture. Personality compatibility plays a crucial role in this process. We use advanced psychometric tests, such as the Big Five Personality Traits and Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, to gain in-depth insight into candidates' personalities. These tests not only help assess a candidate's technical fit, but also whether he or she will reinforce the organization's cultural values.

An example of this approach in practice is our collaboration with a large technology startup, where we specifically looked for candidates who not only had technical skills, but also an entrepreneurial spirit and the ability to work as part of a team, which is essential in a fast-growing startup environment.

Motivation and Engagement

A candidate's motivation can often be a predictor of success and engagement within a company. To understand candidates' deeper motivations, we conduct extensive interviews and use motivation-assessment tools such as the Motivation Questionnaire (MQ). These methods help determine how the candidate's personal and professional goals align with those of the organization.

A real-life example of this is when we placed a compliance officer with a financial services company. By thoroughly evaluating what drives the candidate, we were able to determine that her strong interest in regulatory issues and ethical standards aligned perfectly with the client's mission to increase transparency in their operations.

Cognitive Diversity in Teams

Cognitive diversity is another pillar of our recruitment strategy. Teams that can combine different ways of thinking and problem solving are often more innovative and effective. To promote this diversity, we look for candidates with diverse backgrounds, education and work experiences.

For example, when assembling a project team for a software development project, we made sure we had a mix of analytically strong programmers, creative UI/UX designers and project managers with strong interpersonal skills. This approach created a dynamic collaboration that led to the successful delivery of the project on schedule.
