  7. Our process - 25% - 30% - 10% - 10%

  8. Assessment and Selection Process Purpose and Context • Bring through quality candidates but also ensure we have robust selection tools in place to allow us to select out unqualified candidates • Impact the conversion ratiosand assessment costs through a ‘smarter’ selection process – ‘Bulk’ of applications screened out at the early stages, with only the top 25% (target) of candidates seen at assessment. • To provide the groundwork from which to create a consistent, transparent and fair selection process that lends itself to continual review and updates.

  9. Video and UKPN culture • UKPN love video… key part of employee engagement strategy • CEO is on video newsletter every month ‘This film is about us, our colleagues and our Company. It highlights the essential service of electricity distribution that we provide on a daily basis. Enjoy watching the UK Power Networks story and see how we positively impact on the lives of the customers and communities we serve on a daily basis’

  10. Video and UKPN Culture

  11. So, why Sonru? Benefits Recruiters • Times are changing – the traditional CV screen is not enough • More engaging recruitment process makes it easier to engage top talent • Differentiation between equally qualified applicants • Diversity of competency assessment – the softer skills and non-verbal cues • Economical – financial costs and time limitations • Convenience – no more scheduling headaches! • Multiple opportunity to review

  12. So, why Sonru? Benefits Candidates • Time constraints of telephone interviews • Availability – especially for passive candidates • Diversity of competency assessment – the softer skills • Confidence – pondering the big questions! • Allows for candidate innovation • Interviewing on the move

  13. So, why Sonru? Benefits Hiring Managers • Higher calibre candidates at face to face assessments • Stronger identification of applicants pre assessment centre or interview • Team fit • Allows for hiring manager innovation – review competencies that a CV can’t easily demonstrate • Sharing – Peer and manager review • Dispelling of any pre-conceived opinions or perceptions

  14. So, why Sonru? Perceived negatives • Loss of the personal touch – when does the first human contact take place? • Assumption of availability of technology • Connectivity • Costs increase of earlier stages of selection • Learning curve • Small talk • What could be missed?
