Recruitment Process

Recruitment is challenging for everyone involved. We create a positive, safe, and friendly experience for both those seeking talent and those looking for a job. Our process provides structure, predictability, and quality.

Kick-off Meeting – Timeline and Requirements Profile

Who are you, and who are you looking for? To get started quickly, we make sure to be well-informed about your company and prepared for our first meeting. We set a clear timeline for the recruitment process and jointly develop a requirements profile that fits the role, your organization, your culture, and, of course, your future ambitions and goals. We are happy to take the time to speak with other relevant people in the organization to gain a comprehensive understanding of your needs.

It is important for us to understand who you are in order to find the right candidate who can grow with you while contributing to your growth, and also so that we can represent you in the best possible way throughout the recruitment process.

Longlist

In a recruitment process with Rubino, you first receive a comprehensive selection of candidates. This step is important to ensure that we are on the right track and have correctly understood the assignment. It is also important for you as the client to see the type of candidates who have applied for the position and who are available before we contact them. If necessary, we may adjust the advertisement slightly and update the search strategy based on your input.

Interview Phase

We select the most promising candidates for the first round of interviews. This is where our extensive experience becomes crucial. For us, it is important not only to find the right candidate according to the requirements profile but also to identify those with the greatest potential for growth.

In our interactions with candidates, respect, kindness, and professionalism are essential. Personal integrity is very important to us, and we take GDPR requirements very seriously. You can read more about this in our privacy policy.

Shortlist

We present 3–4 candidates that we recommend the client meet. We are happy to participate in these interviews if requested.

The interviews are preferably held at our office in central Stockholm to ensure the candidates’ confidentiality.

After meeting all the candidates, we jointly select those who will move on to the final phase.

Tests

Tests are not everything, but they are a valuable complement in a recruitment process. What matters is assessing competencies based on strategy and goals. What is important is to match the candidate’s skills with the tasks to be performed and the objectives to be achieved.

In all our recruitment processes, a personal profile analysis of the final candidates is included, but we also have extensive experience with other testing tools to assess, among other things, logical ability, potential, motivation, and behavior. You can read more about our testing tools here.

Final Interviews

We always recommend that both candidates and clients meet each other multiple times. It is crucial for all parties to feel confident about a new hire or employment.

By the final interview, the results from any tests are available, and feedback is provided if it has not been shared earlier. Outstanding questions about the position or the company can be discussed, and any uncertainties clarified.

We also recommend that candidates being considered for senior positions present a case. This provides us with greater insight into the candidate’s skills and relevance for the role, while also giving the candidate a better understanding of the company and what the position will entail.

References and Background Check

Finally, we interview 2–3 references to gather additional information and confirm the candidate’s abilities and competencies.

We always conduct an initial check in public databases (Lexbase) before each interview. Upon request, we carry out an extended background check on the final candidate, mapping company affiliations, payment defaults, and criminal and civil court cases.

Employment

Finally, the employer and candidate agree on employment. We are happy to assist with HR expertise and other support.

A good onboarding process promotes well-being and helps the new employee perform better. We provide advice and guidance to ensure your new employee gets the best possible start. After a few months, we follow up with both the new hire and you to ensure that everyone is satisfied.
