MAKING GREAT HIRES
How a Predictive Index Assessment Tool Can Help in Your Recruitment & Hiring Efforts
The process of prescreening and hiring the most qualified individuals for your company can be very challenging . The job market is competitive and we ’ re all seeking the best talent to support growth opportunities for our businesses . The hiring and prescreening process can be time consuming and , unfortunately , sometimes it doesn ’ t always result in the best hiring decision . So how can you lower the risk of making a poor hire ?
Prescreening Tools May Help
One way to elevate your hiring process is through the use of a prescreening tool . A prescreening tool Rea & Associates has successfully used is The Predictive Index ( PI ) Assessment . This cognitive assessment helps target key talent with the right fit for a job . It provides insight into a person ’ s capacity to learn , adapt and grasp new concepts . The PI does not measure IQ , but rather it provides an indication on how fast an individual can be expected to acquire new knowledge .
The value to companies utilizing this assessment also supports :
• Talent Acquisition : Hiring the right individuals and decreasing turnover costs
• Talent Development : Building teams and developing leaders
• Change Management : Building trust and managing transitions to new roles
• Growth Strategy : Improving productivity and driving revenue
How The Predictive Index Assessment Works
This assessment requires that individuals complete the test in 12 minutes . One part of the assessment asks individuals to check characteristics they feel others see in them . The second part of the assessment asks the individual to check characteristics on how they see themselves . That ’ s all ! We then have the capability to enter the assessment into software and generate a summary report within a matter of minutes .
The summary report generated provides a narrative regarding the individual ’ s behavioral , communication and leadership styles to name a few . It will also provide an individualized behavioral pattern with insight regarding coaching and development opportunities to help this individual succeed .
