Improve Hiring and Screening
The majority of hiring decisions are made by managers or executives who have "gut feelings" about people. Yet, often those placements lead to impulse hiring, unforeseen training costs, and high turnover rates. From your experience, you know you have hired some excellent employees and some who have failed. Now take a moment and think back. Did you use the same employee screening method to hire both? Typically, we find that employers do employ the same methods for each position. This suggests that your existing employee selection process may produce inconsistent hiring results allowing applicants that lack the skills necessary to complete the task associated with their job titles to sneak by even the most astute hiring manager.
Look Beyond the Resume
You want people who fit your work culture. You must consider the candidate's personality, work style, goals and skill set. Don't judge a book by its cover, and don't believe what you read on a resume!
Simplify the Interview
The interviewing process can be a legal and practical nightmare if not approached carefully, A seemingly innocent interview question may actually be inappropriate, or even illegal, and may culminate in a costly discrimination lawsuit. Such situations can easily be avoided by using appropriate job interview questions. While sample interview questions can help, having specific questions to ask a particular candidate make the process even more effective. The variety of job interview questions an employer can ask is wide and contingent upon the specific needs of a particular position. An employer must ensure job interview questions are in alignment with the law.
Get Specific - Save Time
Customized, tough interview questions that are prepared specifically for your candidate based upon their assessment results can help you avoid incompatible candidate matches, save time and make the hiring process more effective. You want to determine if the candidate is going to be a good fit for the job, and a match for the company's culture. Use a report that provides questions that are worded in an open-ended manner to stimulate discussion, reduce litigation risks, and conduct the most effective interview for each candidate. The customized interview questions can be used in tandem with the insights provided by the employee assessments to further assist the employer in making a well-informed hiring decision. These interview questions are a significant improvement over common interview questions.
Increase Success
Decisions leading to satisfying solutions for the challenges you face are based on having accurate facts, statistics and number. A valuable function of employee assessments is their presentation of objective, quantified data about employees. This date is invaluable when solving people problems. A recent study showed that the correlation between the ability to deliver well in a job interview and the ability to do well on the job is just 14 percent. This is equivalent of finding one good employee out of every seven people you interview. This chart illustrates that the more information you have about a person the better your odds become in making an informed and successful hire..
