Most employee hiring decisions are made with inadequate information. Traditional hiring focuses primarily on evaluating a candidate's skills and technical qualifications along with a competency-based approach to analysis the candidate's behavioural characteristics to demonstraction of those completencies from their past experiences.

By including job match as a key factor in your employee selection process, your allocation of human capital will be significantly more effective. A customizable job-match pattern provides the information you need to know before tendering a job offer. Avoid hiring mistakes by understanding the applicant's potential to succeed in the position.

Job Matching

 

What is Job Matching

Job matching is basically common sense combined with objective assessment data. Common sense plays a role because you would not put a social,ly, high-energy person behind a desk as a data entry clerk. In the same way, you would not ask a introverted, number cruncher to be an event planner. Too often, employers hire based only on work experience, education and qualtifications.

"Appropriate job fit is essential for employees and managers to be high achievers.'

Job Fit

"Fit" reflects the behaviours and interests needs to succeed in a job. Skills can be taught, but behaviours are much more difficult to change. It is important to understand a person's innate behaviours and interests when trying to match them with the right job. Knowing the job, knowing what type of person is successful in that job, and then hiring others who have the behavioural traits that fit that job is easier said than done because it is difficult to gauge behaviours in a job interview. An assessment that measure the individual against the specific qualities needed to perform the job will improve your success in hiring the right person. Understand the core characteristics of your top performners in a job and use them as a benchmark to measure job candidates. Hire the right person for the right job.
