Employee Assessments

Having the right people in the right positions for your organization can mean the difference between profit and loss. Seem too big a statement? Consider the following: For unskilled or semi-skilled workers, “Superior” producers generate 19% more output than “Average” producers and 38% more output than “Non-Producers”. For skilled workers, “Superior” producers generate 32% more than “Average” producers and 64% more output than “Non-Producers”. For management or professional workers, the “Superior” producers generate 48% more than “Average producers and 96% more than “Non-producers”. (Source)

Apply those figures to your organization and it becomes clear to most that hiring and promoting the right people is critical to success.

So, how can ExactHire help?

Predicting superior performance is all about having enough of the right information when you make people decisions. Having the right information allows you to achieve Job Fit. Simply put, Job Fit exists when the skills and attitudes of the employee are in line with the duties of the job and values of your organization. To illustrate, an article published in Psychological Bulletin (Volume 96, No. 1, August 1994) by Professor Mike Smith from the University of Manchester indicates:

  • The odds of achieving Job Fit through traditional interviewing methods alone are 14%.
  • Adding Employee Assessment tools that check an individual’s behavior traits, ability and interests relative to a job increase the odds of achieving Job Fit more than five fold!

Above is what we call triangulation. When a candidate's skills align with the company's culture and job duties there is a very high probability that your new hire will be a superior producer. ExactHire has a proven methodology to make this happen.

At ExactHire we tell clients that any assessment they use should meet the following criteria:

  • Validity
  • Reliability
  • Distortion (candidness)
  • Benchmarking capabilities
  • Clearly written reporting language
  • Interview questions for hiring managers

Otherwise they will not be getting the protection or the information that they deserve.

  • Behavioral assessments
  • Cognitive assessments
