An essential enabler which is pivotal to the Iris Advantage is the Iris Screening process. To assist our clients in acquiring high quality IT talent on demand, in the shortest possible time, Iris takes the following 7 steps as a defined and repeatable process after the job requirement is clearly understood and defined:
Shortlist – Our dedicated technical team set out to pre-screen and ultimately shortlist several candidates from IrisSELECT and various other networking tools. Iris is proud to state that over 90% of our technical recruiting team possesses degrees in engineering. This group of technical specialists set out to short list the candidates with the best fit in the shortest amount of time.
Initial Screening – It starts with a simple phone call but the conversation quickly turns technical to assess availability, interest and skill level, and domain expertise.
Technical evaluation/IrisTech – Our home grown online tech evaluation tool with over 50 different technologies covered. Questions are updated periodically with inputs from industry experts. This custom framework also allows for new tests to be created and conducted with client's requirements in mind.
HR Screening – Candidates are checked for their eligibility and deliverability for the job role. During this step, we will now know if the candidate has a strong enough reason to follow the process and accept the job if offered. Checks are also performed for fitment from an organizational and role perspective.
Technical Interview – Handpicked technology experts working in the industry conduct a 30-60 minute screening based on the client's specific domain and skill requirements. A final score assessment is given and a decision to proceed or hold is rendered.
Reference Checks – Candidates' references from past employers are checked. We ask and expect that all references be relevant, recent and supervisory in nature.
Proposed for Project
For every 12 candidates that Iris puts through our rigorous screening process, 1 is finally proposed to the client. This cuts down on the constant flood of resumes that we realize is difficult to search through. This 12:1 ratio ultimately translates to better quality and increased on time project delivery. The Total Cycle Time of this screening process is usually between 48 to 72 hours.
