Focussing on what matters
The power of keeping things simple by streamlining a complex process releases time, energy and resources to ensure it’s efficient, effective and enjoyable. This is the ethos behind TopScore’s virtual assessment platform for the legal sector and beyond. Having spent many years facilitating assessment centre campaigns, co-founder and MD Phin Naughton knows the pitfalls and headaches well – but he also has a good knowledge of what works right and what makes people happy.
How does TopScore work alongside Jarred Consulting? ‘We’ll build a bespoke system for the client and then Jarred will come in, design the assessment and interview materials as well as the approach.’ Phin says. In this way, it becomes more than an off-the-peg system, it’s uniquely developed for the client using Jarred Consulting’s expertise.
Keeping things simple
It’s paperless and virtual too, which relieves strain on the environment and removes logistical problems. When the campaign involves hundreds of people and several months of work, having a system able to deal with this scope means that nothing gets lost and no one gets left behind. The focus can then shift back onto the more human elements of the process like reducing fatigue and making things more personal, ‘We take care of the tech so that our clients can take care of people,’ he says.
Added elements such as secure materials, data security and assessor monitoring add peace of mind, accountability and fairness to the process, which aligns very neatly with Jarred’s values and mission.
‘We’re a small company which works to our advantage.’ He goes on. ‘We’re agile which means we can move quite quickly without having to go through the hoops.’ With most of their work coming through referrals and word of mouth, their reputation is growing. They’re clearly good at what they do.
‘We provide a product that is simple, enjoyable and works well’ he finishes. Stepping out of his freelance role and setting up a company to answer the call in a niche area was a brave step but one that Phin is happy to have made. Well-established as a provider of a unique system, TopScore continues to improve the lives of everyone involved in the recruitment process.
