Recruitment
Combining systematic selection methodology with psychometric expertise to identify candidates who will actually succeed in the role.
The Situation Clients Face
Internal hiring processes have failed to identify suitable candidates. Critical positions remain unfilled for extended periods, damaging operations and morale. Previous hires in a particular role have repeatedly failed, suggesting a systematic selection problem. Interview-based selection misses critical capabilities and overweights presentation skills. The recruitment process is expensive, slow, and unreliable. Failed appointments compound costs through recruitment fees, training investment, productivity loss, and team demoralisation.
Who This Is For
HR Directors, Chief Executives, and hiring executives filling critical or difficult to fill positions.

How IPC Approaches This Work
Our methodology integrates competency-based selection design with psychometric assessment at every stage. The process begins with role analysis to identify the capabilities, dispositions, and cultural attributes that predict success. Search and attraction strategies are tailored to the candidate market for each role. Assessment combines structured interviews, psychometric testing, and where appropriate, work simulations. Hiring managers receive evidence-based recommendations.
Why IPC for This
IPC's registered occupational psychologists bring assessment expertise that recruitment agencies cannot match. Decades of experience across Zimbabwean sectors provide insight into local talent markets. The combination of recruitment process management with scientific assessment creates a service that addresses the full challenge of talent acquisition.
While IPC is domiciled in Zimbabwe and deeply versed in the Zimbabwean context, the firm has equally assisted clients across Africa, predominantly in southern Africa.
