Matching the Right Candidate to the Right Job
Effective employee selection and hiring is a key element of employee retention and reducing employee turnover. One of the most effective ways to increase hiring success and avoid the job mismatch problem in your organization is through the use of a Job Benchmark and job match testing.
First: Let the Job Speak!
To get a true Job Benchmark, you must know what the job needs to be done well. The job must "communicate" or "talk". The first step is to determine the "Key Accountabilities" of the job.
Why does the job exist?
What knowledge is needed?
What couldn't be done without it?
The job benchmarking process begins by compiling a list of "key accountabilities" for the targeted job. The key accountabilities are the critical business goals and successes the job position is responsible for.
Second: Assess The Talent
If you've ever conducted a job interview you'll probably agree that you are never quite sure what you are going to get. The candidate seemed great and said everything you wanted to hear so you hired him/her. Two months later you realize the new employee isn't performing as expected or as promised.
What you really needed was an unbiased insight into the candidate's Values(what motivates them), Behaviors(how they will act), and Attributes(What skills can they bring to the organization).
This will provide a summary of the candidate's personal talents as they relate to the talents and skills identified for successful job performance.
Now: Match the Talent to the Job!
Placing the Right Talent in the Right Job dramatically increases your likelihood of success. Our powerful job match testing strategy enables you to replace inherent biases (halo effect!) present during the employee selection process and ensure the success of the new hire and the organization as a whole.
