Swift, Aligned Recruitment: A Success Story with EQC Ireland

At Clark Recruitment, we take pride in partnering with organisations that value quality, culture, and efficiency in their hiring process. EQC Ireland, a leading provider in their industry, approached us with a critical requirement: sourcing a Senior Administrator to join their expanding team. The challenge? Finding the right candidate with the ideal blend of technical skills and cultural alignment—within a very tight timeframe.

Understanding the Brief

EQC needed a recruitment partner who would not only deliver results quickly but also take the time to understand their team dynamic and business values. They turned to Clark to help them get it right—the first time.

Our Approach

Having spent time on-site with the EQC team before the assignment, we had a strong grasp of their work environment and team culture. We activated our pre-qualified candidate database and identified five standout professionals who had already undergone detailed interviews with our consultants. We understood their motivations, strengths, and goals, allowing us to match them precisely with EQC’s needs.

We managed every stage of the recruitment process—from coordinating interviews and collecting feedback to managing job offers and contract negotiations. Within just one week, EQC had hired a high-calibre Senior Administrator who was the perfect fit for the role and the team.

The Result

All five shortlisted candidates were interviewed and found to be highly suitable. EQC’s HR Manager described the process as “smooth and efficient,” highlighting our proactive communication, attention to detail, and commitment to delivering the best outcome.

“Clark’s support made the entire recruitment process seamless and hassle-free. Their clear communication, attention to detail, and commitment to finding the right people allowed us to focus on our business with confidence.” — HR Manager, EQC Ireland

Unlocking Potential: How Psychometric Assessments Can Transform Your Hiring Process!

In today’s competitive hiring landscape, finding the right candidate isn’t just about experience—it’s about understanding behaviour, values, and thinking styles. At Clark Recruitment, we’ve seen first hand how using advanced tools like the ADVanced Insights Report (ADV) can completely transform recruitment outcomes.

As the focus on cultural fit and long-term potential continues to grow, psychometric assessments are becoming essential to making informed and confident hiring decisions.

🔍 What is the ADV Report?

The ADV combines three scientifically-backed tools that provide a powerful, multi-dimensional view of each individual:

DISC Index – Measures observable behaviours in both natural and adapted environments, helping you understand how individuals communicate, perform tasks, and collaborate in teams.

Values Index – Reveals what truly drives a person, using seven dimensions of motivation defined by Spranger and Allport.

Attribute Index – Based on the science of Axiology, this tool uncovers how people think and make decisions, offering insight into their strengths and potential development areas.

Together, these insights offer a complete picture—helping hiring managers and leaders make smarter, more aligned decisions.

💼 How We Use ADV at Clark

We’ve integrated the ADV report into our recruitment and talent management processes to:

  • 🔍 Enhance hiring accuracy by identifying best-fit candidates

  • 💡 Improve retention by aligning values and cultural fit

  • 🚀 Support employee coaching, leadership development, and onboarding

It’s not just about hiring—it’s about building high-performing, motivated teams from the ground up.
