Job Matching

If the job could talk, what would it tell you?

Are you experiencing any of these problems?

• High turnover
• Low first-year staff retention
• Poor performance by new-hires
• Long training times, remediation needed after hiring
• High absenteeism
• Poor customer service
• Cost of new-hire training above industry norms

According to many recruiters, hiring the wrong person costs an average of 250% of the position’s annual salary – now multiply that by the number of people you hire per year. That number is staggering for most businesses, and the Society for Human Resource Management puts it even higher: up to 500%!

What makes that number even more surprising is that most businesses suffer more than they have to. Common business hiring practices focus on three primary decision points: the resume, the interview, and the candidate’s past education. Combined and identified correctly, these three factors have a meager 35% chance of helping you pick the right candidate – barely better than 1 in 3! (Schmidt et al, 1998)

• The candidate’s experience only becomes significant where both the job and the environment are nearly identical to previous work
• Education is generally a poor predictor, except for those just entering the workforce
• The interview is inherently biased by the personality and expectations of the interviewer

Instead, why not have the job tell you what it needs?

Every position has unique needs: skills, personal strengths, behavior factors, motivations. We have a proven process for discovering those needs and identifying those qualities in your top candidates, helping you choose the right person for the job.

Just some of the benefits:

• Reduced turnover
• Improved reputation as an employer
• New-hires are up and running faster
• Lower training cost per employee
• Higher job satisfaction among your staff
