All internal FD Consultants are trained in Competency Based Interviewing of their candidates. This evaluates candidate competence in predefined areas (i.e. Results Orientation, Team Work, Planning and Organisation) and gives valuable insights into an individual's preferred style of working and help predict behaviours in future situations. As an additional service FD can develop for their clients bespoke competency interview frameworks to assist them when interviewing and benchmarking candidates.
Assessment Centres are valuable in identifying the suitability, strengths and potential development areas of people in relation to a particular job or role. FD has an in-house expert who has designed bespoke Assessment Centres over a period of 7 years across industries and directly for our clients. They provide a unique opportunity to objectively observe and measure how people actually perform tasks, make decisions, relate to each other, and demonstrate self awareness. We have the facility to design bespoke and tailored assessments to your specific requirements after a brief consultation for recruitment or on internal Team Appraisals.

I used Stuart’s services at Financial Divisions to find a new role earlier this summer. He was able to open up a number of opportunities for me, all of which were interesting and suitable. He was a great help in the eventual choice of my current appointment and throughout the time we worked together I found him to be thorough, conscientious and timely. I also found his advice to be very balanced. I would be happy to recommend him to my friends and family.

Hi Stuart, I just wanted to say thank you for all your efforts in securing me a job, I think I have landed on my feet at McLaren! I know it's your job to do so, but my experience with other agencies has been little short of dire. I wouldn't hesitate to deal with you again (although I hope I won't need to!) and I will be sure to pass on your details to any colleague, past or present, who finds themselves in the job market. Thanks again and very best wishes.
