This section contains information on how employers can use Academic Score. It also includes example Academic Scores and what they may mean. For more general information click here.

"Degrees don't mean anything to me, they are just a piece of paper. I need a way of sorting the academic wheat from the chaff."

"I don't have the time or the resources to go through pages and pages of academic transcripts. It's all gibberish to me… what does a B+ for "Special topic 113" mean anyway?"

"When I get a pile of CV's I need to be able to quickly sort out the candidates who have achieved highly at university. It's sometimes days before I can get on with the important job of interviewing, to see whether the candidates I've chosen will fit into my team."

Do any of these quotes ring true? Academic Score can significantly improve efficiency, accuracy and effectivness during your recruitment process.

Academic Score provides the employer with three important tools:

1. Academic Score. The higher a candidate's Academic Score, the higher they have achieved academically at university level. This may be accomplished by completing a large number of papers, or achieving highly in fewer papers.
2. Academic Grade Score. Academically superior candidates will have a high Academic Score combined with a high Academic Grade Score showing they have completed a large number of papers and generally achieved high grades in those papers. Conversely, a candidate with a high Academic Score but a low Academic Grade Score may have completed many papers, but only performed at a mediocre level.
3. Academic Subject Score- This is useful for employers seeking specialised areas of academic study. It provides an Academic Score in only one subject area. This would be useful if, for example, you required a candidate with an excellent academic knowledge of chemistry, but have no need for them to have studied in other areas. In this case you would simply ask them for their Academic Subject Score for chemistry and quickly be able to choose the candidates who have achieved most highly in this area. Academic Subject Score is presented graphically to give a more accurate representation of the depth to which an individual has studied in a specific dicipline, and also the breadth of their studies across various diciplines.

 

How can Academic Score help me recruit staff?

1. Candidates can provide Academic Scores as well as Academic Grade Scores with their CV's, this will allow you to quickly and effectively choose the most academically qualified candidates for your roles. By asking for Academic Scores in your job advertisements, you'll make your recruitment process much more simple and effective.
2. You may be in the position where you need candidates academically skilled in a particular discipline. By advertising for candidates with a specific Academic Subject Score, or a combination of two Academic Subject Scores, you'll be able to source candidates who may not yet have finished university, thus getting the best candidates before your competition. As an employer of choice you could advertise what you look for academically in your staff and you may find candidates tailoring their university education specifically to your needs. In this way Academic Score puts the power in your hands.
