Unbiased Recruitment with TNG and Tengai

A Partnership with a Shared Mission

For over 20 years, the recruitment and consulting company TNG has been dedicated to developing methods for unbiased recruitment. By focusing on data-driven, structured, and competency-based processes, they challenge traditional practices to create a more inclusive and sustainable job market. It was at TNG that the idea for Tengai was born – a tool that has now become an integral part of the company’s recruitment efforts, ensuring fair and efficient candidate selection.

The Role of Tengai in TNG’s Recruitment

Tengai supports TNG in streamlining and improving the recruitment process by collecting objective data early in the selection phase. With its ability to conduct interactive and competency-based interviews, Tengai provides recruiters and managers with a clearer understanding of candidates’ skills and potential.

The interviews, based on the scientifically validated Big5 framework, analyze key traits linked to job success. This creates a comparable and fair basis for assessment while reducing the risk of unconscious bias influencing decisions.

1. Efficient Handling of Spontaneous Applications

TNG has always prioritized managing spontaneous applications, giving job seekers an opportunity to showcase their abilities. Now, all candidates submitting spontaneous applications can also complete a digital interview with Tengai, where they book their own time and participate in the process. After the interview, every applicant receives instant feedback, which is highly appreciated and enhances the candidate experience.

2. Proactive Work with Talent Pipelines

Tengai is also used proactively in building Talent Pipelines. By managing a large volume of interviews in a short time, the tool gathers comparable data that helps recruiters quickly match the right candidates to current assignments. Tengai has successfully been used in recruiting IT support technicians, marketing and sales roles, HR specialists, engineers, accounting assistants, and various leadership positions.

"With Tengai we gained a scientific way to compare and select the best candidates. I'm convinced that Tengai will contribute to a more sustainable labor market, which is completely in line with our vision at TNG."

3. Integrated into Ongoing Recruitments

Tengai is also utilized in many of TNG’s active recruitment assignments, particularly in high-volume hiring. The tool enables interviews with more candidates than would otherwise be practical, improving the chances of finding the right talent and shortening recruitment timelines. By letting Tengai handle the initial interview phase, hiring managers can focus on qualified candidates during in-depth interviews.

An Efficient and Fair Process

With Tengai integrated into recruitment, TNG offers a process that is both more time-efficient and fairer for candidates. The combination of objective data, structured interviews, and a positive candidate experience makes the tool a vital part of meeting the needs of both clients and candidates – while continuing to develop the recruitment of the future.
