The Hiring Process

Hiring ProcessHere at iQuest, our main objective is to hire individuals who are a natural fit to positions for which they wish to apply. This means three things:

  1. Having a personility type that is a natural fit for the position
  2. Having a strong skillset as required by the position that will help the individual deliver results as soon as his/her employment starts
  3. Possesing compatible work ethics that will help the individual fit into iQuest's corporate culture

In order to find the right individuals who meet all three criteria, our hiring process consists of three phases as depicted in the image on the right.

Personality Survey

This is an online survey that will give us a clear indication of the applicant's personality type. This is not a pass or fail test. It only gauges the applicant's compatibility with the position for which he/she is applying.

For example, a sales position may require a personality type that requires the individual to possess strong inter-personal skills while this personality trait would not be a requirement for a software developer. The survey allows us to get an idea about the applicant's "natural" behavior.

This test is also available in multiple languages for those whose native language may not be English.

Hands-On Test

In most cases, the applicant will be given a test that will be similar to a task he/she may be required to perform while working for iQuest.

The applicant will be required to deliver the desired results within the prescribed time frame. Upon successful completion of the test, an iQuest manager will analyze the results delivered by the applicant. This process may involve a dialog with the applicant in order to allow him/her to explain the logic or methodologies he/she used in the test.

Applicants do not receive any compensation for the time spent during their hands-on test.

Probation Period

Despite our best efforts to pick compatible individuals for our team, actual, on-the-job assessment is the best way to determine whether the applicant and iQuest form a strong and compatible match. During the probation period, iQuest managers will closely supervise the individual's performance and determine whether iQuest provides an environment for him/her to be successful in the long run.

Applicants receive compensation for work performed during their probation period based on the rates agreed upon during the hiring process.
