The Challenge
When we first started working with HighPoint, they had multiple first-stage interviews. It was a painstaking process, usually taking around 1.5 hours of hiring managers’ time, before a candidate could progress to further stages.
Our industry experience enabled us to streamline that process. Our contract practice manager's background in Network Engineering meant we could prepare a list of pre-screening technical interview questions specifically for HighPoint Solutions.
We implemented a scoring system in collaboration with our client, which helped ensure the candidates that were progressing in the interview process had the particular technical skillset and knowledge our client was looking for. The interview consisted of a 30-minute technical interview, and candidates were able to progress if they reached a score of over 75%.
The Result
Through the utilization of a video interviewing platform, we managed to further streamline this process, enabling the hiring managers to review answers to specific questions themselves.
We set up the technical test on our video interview platform, which poses questions to the candidates and they can record their responses at a time that is convenient to them. Afterwards, we screen the answers with our scoring system and forward successful candidates, and their answers, to the hiring managers.
HighPoint Solutions trusted our understanding of their requirements and our expert knowledge of the technical capabilities needed for their roles, significantly increasing the efficiency of the recruitment process and speed to hire.
HighPoint Solutions saved 25 hours of interviewing thanks to this significant process improvement.

Our contract team
“Franklin Fitch have been one of a handful of recruitment agencies on our preferred supplier list for many years. We’ve been able to find suitable candidates for the roles we’ve needed filling quickly.
For me, personally, working with the team at Franklin Fitch has been a breath of fresh air. Being able to have a trusted relationship and being supplied with credible candidates consistently has been a huge time-saving and allowed me to focus on my own business as well as getting candidates quickly to support our projects rather than having to push back start dates with our own clients because we don’t have the right skilled resource available.”
