Why Do Personnel Assessments

 

The changes brought about by globalization, competition and new technology are altering how progressive organizations do business. Regardless of economic conditions, competition for top talent has never been greater. The organizations that endure will be those that understand that managing the employee performance is the equivalent of managing the bottom line.

According to recent research, the cost of hiring the wrong person can be as high as 10 times their annual salary. While hiring the right people is important, promoting the right people is critical to the long-term health and success of your organization.

New research-based behavioral hiring tools can help you make smarter personnel hiring decisions and optimize business performance.

Here are the facts:

  • Studies suggest that more than 50 percent of the workforce may be in jobs that are not suited for who they are and what they value.
  • A 1998 Michigan University study proved that interviews are only 14 percent accurate in selecting high performers.
  • The Wall Street Journal reported that more than 50 percent of hires from executive recruiters don't last two years.

Make Smarter Hiring Decisions


While many companies have added background checks to their hiring process, many still do not use personnel assessments when hiring people. Background checks can help you minimize the chances of a bad hire, while behavioral style, personal interests, attitudes and values, and talent assessments help maximize the likelihood of an exceptional hire.
