How to predict future performance of job candidates.

If you read some of HRwisdom member HR horror stories, you probably laughed and squirmed at the same time.

This takes us to the questions of how to prevent such horror stories and how to predict future performance of job candidates?

In today’s HRwisdom blog post, we share with you a new online tool that uses 17 assessment questions to reveal the following about a person:

• Greatest interests, preferences and motivations
• Counter-productive behavioural tendencies
• Best career options
• Suitability (%) for any specified job/vacancy
• How most effectively to improve their performance
• How well they will perform in a team
• Management and leadership potential
• Degree of compatibility with an employer’s values, culture, working environment, management personnel, and team dynamics
• Overall honesty, consistency and reliability of their responses to the questions

The job candidate assessment tool has an impressive 95% accuracy in predicting performance, based on extensive validation studies over 30 years in 18 different languages and 20 countries.

The online candidate assessment system uses a unique ranking system which, in just 30 minutes, identifies nearly 200 factors incorporating personality attributes, interpersonal preferences, values, task preferences, interests, work environment preferences, and motivations.

But it’s not just about the person.  People simply ‘are what they are’ until you put them in a situation and place expectations on them.  Then it’s about performance in a role.

Comparing a person’s resulting recruitment assessment profile with a databank of over 600 career options is like allowing a person to test-drive 600 careers in 30 minutes. Obviously that has great potential for employee development but that’s for another discussion.

Comparing a person’s assessment profile with the validated success criteria of the job they are in – or the vacancy they are being considered for – is like benchmarking them against thousands of people who have already proven to be successful in that job, and immediately knowing how closely this person resembles the successful people in the characteristics that matter most. This is then expressed as a percentage match.

The recruitment assessment tool provides 15 different reports are available online in printable pdf immediately on completion of the assessment.

The candidate assessment tool is administered and delivered online with no software to purchase, install or maintain and no paperwork to juggle.

Thankfully, there are no expert interpretation skills required either. The comprehensive graphical and narrative reports assist you with:

• Recruitment Methods
• Employee Selection
• Executive Coaching
• Selection Leadership Development
• Performance Management Management Development
• Employee Retention Conflict Resolution
• Employee Development Succession Planning
• Culture Change Outplacement

Hopefully, with this candidate screening tool, you’ll be able to avoid your share of HR horror stories.
