However you look at it, bringing new talent into your company is one of the most significant investments you can make. The right person can help a business to soar - and the wrong person can bring it down to earth with a 'bump'.

What's the difference between success and failure in recruitment? More often than not, it comes down to a host of intangible factors: motivation, determination, commitment, and a hundred others like them. DISC is about making those factors tangible and quantifiable, helping you to make sure you put the right person in the right job.

There are lots of ways of describing the personality* and work style of your candidates, but none are as simple to use or as comprehensive as Axiom's Discus range. Discus puts all the power of DISC at your disposal, with integrated role matching, job profiling, behavioural interviewing, and dozens more vital recruitment tools.

This Portal page is your guide to all these topics. Here you'll find articles discussing some of the key issues relating to recruitment in general, and also a selection of commentaries on DISC and its application in the recruitment sphere. You'll also find links to more information about Axiom's DISC solutions - the products of the Discus range.
