Final assessment

When our clients choose to carry out parts of the process themselves, we assist with the crucial final stage of the process: the final round.

As you approach the final choice in a recruitment process, it is often small nuances that set strong candidates apart. That is precisely why an extra perspective can be decisive, before the decision is made.

Habberstad’s final assessment gives you an independent, professionally grounded evaluation of the candidates, so that you can make a confident and well-founded choice.

When do you need a final assessment?

  • When you are left with one or more strong candidates
  • When the position is critical to the business
  • When you want to reduce risk and improve accuracy

What do we do?

We get up close to the candidates and assess what is often hardest to bring out in an ordinary process:

  • Leadership style/working style and interaction
  • How the candidate operates under pressure or in demanding situations
  • The ability to handle the role in practice, not just on paper


This is done through a combination of structured in-depth interviews, analyses and targeted reference checks.

What do you get?

  • A clear and independent assessment of each candidate
  • A recommendation you can genuinely rely on
  • A better basis for making a decision with confidence

What does it give you?

Better decisions, greater accuracy and a lower risk of mishires, especially when it really matters.

After using Habberstad for well over ten years, we have yet to make a single bad hire. That in itself really documents the value of the product.
