- How do you know if a candidate is the right personality 'fit' for your team?
- How do you know if they are the right person to drive that project, analyse that problem or crunch those numbers?
Focusing your recruitment decisions solely on technical skills or experience neglects a critical piece in the puzzle – workplace behaviour! Combined with an effective behavioural interviewing process, rigorous reference checking and the judgement of experienced professionals, behavioural assessments provide that extra 10 - 15% of information to facilitate a well-rounded decision.
Every candidate we interview completes an online questionnaire called MyProfile, which we find is a very reliable 'rule of thumb' for predicting future behavioural styles at work. Clients can request at no additional charge the individual MyProfile report for candidates of strongest interest.
An easy to read and understand report is generated, like an abbreviated 'Myers-Briggs', which identifies candidates as being predominantly Driver, Promoter, Supporter or Administrator, or a combination of these. The report indicates the type of work candidates enjoy, how they interact and communicate with others and their value to an organisation.
Our experience with this toolset has shown that the reports are accurate, meaningful and a powerful predictor of future workplace behaviour.
A sample report is available
By using the MyProfile online job 'profiler' you can make an objective assessment of the behavioural style of the ideal candidate. This assists us in screening candidates more effectively for a particular job and supports our judgement of the ideal candidate for your team/organisation.
HorizonOne also offers a range of consulting services using the MyProfile toolset. This work includes activities such as team planning and building and interpreting MyProfile reports as a group exercise.
There is no question that MyProfile assists in matching a candidate to a role, or even a career. However it's important to remember that this is but one tool that assists in the process. Nothing can replace the understanding of an experienced consultant, nor the nuances of both the candidate and the client organisation.
