Recruiting Assessments
Recruiting, Interview & Hiring AssessmentsPXT Select
If you have ever hired someone who you felt “in your gut” that this person was perfect for the job, and literally weeks or months later you realized that your gut led you wrong, then you have experienced the negative side of “gut feelings”.
The PXT Select is a web based assessment that adds a solid dose of objectivity to the hugely subjective act of recruiting / interviewing and hiring.
Who benefits?
Both the recruiting company and the applicant benefit as the instrument helps both sides of the equation to see in real terms if there is a “fit”, and to what level.
With the importance of what amounts to the most expensive asset a company has, it is a shame to go through all of the expense and investment of new talent without employing readily available information that is there just by asking.
Take someone who’s learning index and behavioural ranking is not within the pattern for the job, they will always struggle to catch up and remain in step, while someone who ranked higher will be bored and make mistakes simply because they are not working to their capacity.
If in the case where too few applicants make it a shallow pool to draw from, at least knowing more about the person will help to make the most of the person, for their benefit and that of the company.
Assessments offered:
The PXT Select provides complete data from both a sales and non-sales perspective. The learning index is comprised of numerical ability and reasoning as well as verbal skill and reasoning. It also provides a clear understanding of ones behavioural tendencies as well as work preferences.
The Step One Survey (SOS) offers clear data on the applicants attitude towards integrity, reliability and work ethic.
The Checkpoint 360 offers managers / coaches and leaders a clear view of where they are on multiple scales through the eyes of their managers, peers and direct reports.
How it works:
The system can be administered by my team, or by the client company. Training is offered for those who want to administer in house.
Web based, the system requires a job pattern to be built, against which the completed assessment is matched. The resultant data is automatically sent out to the requester and those included in the recruitment process.
The reports are written in business English and do NOT require interpretation, the graphs are clear and supported by clear explanations and supported by suggested interview questions.
The patterns take moments to create.
