Talent Assessment
We have a proprietary and proven process that identifies the key attitudes, interpersonal skills, and competencies needed to perform effectively in a targeted role. Then, we assess the degree to which a final candidate has those qualities.
Talent Assessment is a method of screening, interviewing, and testing the candidates you attracted for an open position.
You can use our services to help fill a vacant role or to find someone for a newly-created position.
Why use outside experts to help with talent assessment?
If you’re like most leaders, you've learned the hard way that a great interview doesn't always guarantee great job performance.
Here's a scenario:
A candidate’s resume looks great, the interviews go well, and everyone likes the person, so you hire them. Within a few weeks, though, you are unpleasantly surprised at their poor performance and bad attitude. Even worse? Co-workers tend to focus on new hires, so their bad behavior tends to impact others more than you realize. Then, you’re stuck with the high cost of replacing the bad hire and the impact on your staff of seeing people come and go.
Those are some of the reasons it is so important to hire the right way. And that's why so many companies use professionals, particularly psychologists, to handle their talent assessment process.
(Note: Our Talent Assessment process is different from the services provided by search firms; many clients hire us to screen candidates referred to them by their search firm.)
How You Benefit
You learn how well a candidate will likely fit before you hire them.
The process reduces training costs by identifying where orientation and training efforts should be targeted.
We can help you improve your existing process for screening candidates by reviewing your current selection process and making targeted suggestions for improving it.
You will save time and money while increasing the effectiveness of your entire hiring process.
We can train your staff on how to conduct more effective interviews.
We are experienced at turning our pre-hire assessment reports into development plans you can use to on-board new hires. That saves you time and money getting someone up to speed.
Best Practices
Psychologists are trained in how to conduct job-relevant assessments. We know how to spot the subtle things most interviewers miss. And we're trained to avoid the kind of biases that often lead well-meaning hiring managers toward exactly the kind of candidate you should NOT hire.
These assessment methods are research-based and comply with legal requirements.
We have conducted pre-hire assessments for private companies, non-profits, professional practices, consulting firms, and the US Department of Justice (Drug Enforcement Administration), the US Department of Homeland Security (Federal Air Marshals Service), the US Department of Defense, and the US Department of Veterans Affairs.
