Problem: Improve Hiring and Retention Success

Hiring the wrong person costs time and money. This growing company needed an assessment tool to incorporate into their hiring process to be sure they were selecting the best candidates the first time.
Recommended Solution: Use the Profile XT™ to identify the job-related qualities that make a person productive - Thinking and Reasoning Style, Behavioral Traits, and Occupational Interests.

1. New Tools and Skills: The Company has incorporated this job matching assessment into their hiring process. Typically, the managers interview a group of candidates and select the top two or three from the candidate pool and then we administer the assessment.
2. Signs of Success: Of the 38 employees hired over a three year period with the assessment results as part of the hiring decision, the new hire retention rate is up to 95%. 
3. Ongoing Improvement: By requiring new and current employees (professionals and managers) to take the Profile XT™ assessment, the company is building a data bank of job descriptions and gathering information that can be used for succession planning and job matching.
