Guildsrealm, the south coast’s leading human resources and recruitment firm, today announced that is has strengthened its relationship with SHL, the world’s leading provider of objective people assessment based on psychometric assessments and ability testing.
Guildsrealm’s leading HR consultant Alan Dyer has been selected to join the SHL partner network (SPN) – positioning it as the only local executive search firm with a consultant to hold this esteemed endorsement. Alan’s partnership selection gives Guildsrealm privileged access to resources to support the business and significantly enhance the level of service it can provide to its clients.
Since 2004, Guildsrealm has worked with SHL to provide market leading assessment services as a robust means of matching the right people to the right jobs. Delivered to support clients in their own recruitment campaigns, as well as to support Guildsrealm’s executive search services, it has helped to take the guesswork out of recruiting. All in all it helps to provide an objective, fair and quantifiable appraisal of a candidate’s potential ability to be successful in a role.
Securing the partner status through the firm’s leading HR consultant Alan Dyer comes at a time when Guildsrealm is heavily promoting the use of psychometric assessments to dramatically improve recruitment decisions, helping employers to remove a large proportion of the risk and costs involved in hiring the “wrong” person. To become a network partner, Alan became accredited after undergoing SHL’s stringent assessment standards. Alan has been accreditated to use SHL’s assessment tools for over 10 years.
“Our association with SHL over the past 3 years has proven to be an effective partnership in addressing the increasingly complex needs of our customers,” said Alan Dyer, HR Consultant at Guildsrealm. "We have made the extra commitment to become a partner because we see growing demand for assessment tools from manufacturing and engineering employers across the region. With SHL’s market leading position we will continue to provide high levels of professionalism and service to our clients.”
Matthew Davis, Joint Managing Director of Guildsrealm comments: “Guildsrealm aims to deliver its customers a high level of service and to that end we have been working closely with our suppliers. We are the first company in our local market to be able to offer clients this enhanced level of service and are extremely pleased our HR leader has been selected as it reinforces our ability to deliver strong service levels. The accreditation shows we look to deliver the best solutions to clients and we are continually developing our supplier relationships to their benefit”.
The programme was launched in the UK at the end of last year, with over 206 partners registered on programmes worldwide.
Nigel Thomas, Director of Alliances and Channels, at SHL, commented: “We have created the SPN in response to feedback from the marketplace and we expect that it will be a win-win for all parties, with independent consultancies able to enhance the services they offer with simple-to-deploy SHL assessments.”
