Personnel Assessment

There times that we're forced to make people related decisions with a limited amount of information or under significant time constraints. For some reason we rationalize that having someone aboard is better than having nothing. These decisions are the ones we sometimes live to regret. In reality a poor hire results in additional work versus improving the situation. Usually, we need make modifications or changes in order to get back on track because new hire hinders the success of the current team members. Usually, we spend hours documenting or coaching in order to get the situation resolved. Even though the matter eventually gets taken care of, there is an impact to our creditability plus it limits our ability to focus on higher priorities in your personal and professional life. The result is that we make personal sacrifices that possibly could have been avoided.

Identifying the right candidate for the job makes our lives less stressful. Through our assessment and testing tools, we help you acquire the information that allows you to make more effective hiring decisions. As shown in the graph below, the time and effort invested early in the recruiting process pays dividends as the right candidate is hired. We help you increase your probability of success.

The closer to 100% information the better

For the past 25 years, the goal was to build predictability & consistency in organizations so that the surprise or crisis of the day would become a non-event. Through process controls, financial models & key performance indicators, we were successful with most facets of the operation with the exception of being able to predict people's behaviors. Until the Profiles International solutions were added to our toolbox, one on ones, old performance reviews & discussions with managers/leaders were the best avenues to gain insight employees' skill sets and aspirations. The process was long, tedious and very subjective. In most cases, it came down to a consensus of opinions or intuition to make key hiring promotions and restructuring decisions. As I reflect back in my career, I would have preferred to utilize these tools.
