The Hidden Potential: How PXT Select Unveils the Best Fit for Your Team

Finding the right talent for your team is one of the most critical challenges in today’s competitive job market. It’s not just about filling positions; it’s about finding the best fit—candidates whose skills, behaviors, and interests align with your company’s needs and culture. At Cura HR , we are authorized partners of the PXT Select assessment and utilize to take a data-driven approach to hiring, helping uncover the hidden potential of candidates and make more informed decisions.

What is PXT Select?

PXT Select is a powerful tool that enhances the talent acquisition process by going beyond the obvious qualifications on a resume. It provides a deeper look into a candidate’s behavioral traits, cognitive abilities, and motivational interests—factors that are often overlooked in traditional hiring methods. According to the Mercer 2024 Global Talent Trends Report, employees who are well matched to their job roles are 2.5 times more productive. This underscores the importance of using tools like PXT Select to ensure the right fit.

How Does PXT Select Measure Job Fit?

PXT Select utilizes a performance model library that matches assessment results against the requirements of specific job roles. This process involves examining both observable characteristics—such as skills, experience, and education—and deeper, less visible qualities, including behavioral traits and cognitive abilities. By assessing these hidden dimensions, PXT Select helps organizations determine:

• Can they do the job? This measures the candidate's cognitive ability and problem-solving skills.
• How will they do the job? This evaluates behavioral skills, such as work style, communication, and adaptability.
• Will they enjoy the job? This explores motivational interests to predict job satisfaction and long-term engagement.

At Cura HR, we integrate PXT Select as part of our comprehensive talent acquisition strategy, using it to enhance the decision-making process. It’s not just about filling roles; it’s about finding the right individuals who will thrive in their positions and contribute to the company’s success.

Uncovering Hidden Potential

Traditional hiring often relies on surface-level indicators like resumes and interviews. However, these methods can miss crucial aspects of a candidate's potential. According to a Harvard Business Review study, 65% of hiring managers rely more on instinct than data, which can lead to inconsistent and biased decisions. PXT Select addresses this by using objective data to uncover what’s below the surface—traits that a candidate might not even be aware of themselves.

The PXT Select assessment results are utilized as a component of the decision making process.?

• What the candidate shares: This includes information the candidate willingly provides during the hiring process, such as their resume, application, and interview responses.
• Validation of what they tell us: This step involves verifying the candidate's claims through initial screenings, background checks, references, and work samples.
• What the assessment uncovers: PXT Select dives deeper to reveal insights that might not be immediately apparent, such as areas where the candidate needs to stretch, learn, or grow. This helps create a more complete picture of the candidate's capabilities and potential fit for the role.

The Importance of Creativity in Consulting Roles

One of the insights we've gained from using PXT Select at Cura HR is the significant impact of creativity on success in consulting roles. Through our performance models, we identified creativity as a key driver for our consulting team. This discovery aligns with our approach to providing creative solutions, storytelling, and sharing data in engaging ways. By identifying this trait, we can ensure that new hires not only meet the technical requirements of the job but also bring the creative spark that drives our business forward.

Data-Driven Decision Making in Hiring

Data-driven decision-making is at the core of the PXT Select assessment. Unlike traditional methods that rely heavily on intuition, PXT Select uses quantitative data to support hiring decisions. This approach helps reduce bias, improve consistency, and increase the likelihood of selecting candidates who will excel in their roles. By considering both the visible and hidden aspects of a candidate’s profile, organizations can make more informed, objective, and effective hiring choices.

By aligning each team member’s strengths with their role requirements, companies can create a more cohesive and productive workforce. This alignment not only boosts efficiency but also contributes to a positive work environment where employees feel valued and engaged.

Why Inclusion is Crucial in the Hiring Process

Building a diverse and inclusive workforce is more than a goal—it’s a necessity for business success. PXT Select supports this by providing a fair and unbiased evaluation of candidates, focusing on their potential rather than just their background.
