How does Behaviour Assessments help in Talent Development
It is clear that hiring a new employee or deciding when to promote a current one is a big decision. Since you’re investing valuable time, money, efforts and resources, you want to make sure you get this right the first time… but how can you truly know how a candidate will perform until they’re actually in the role?
Behavioural Assessments Is Your Solution
The Talent personality test makes it possible to uncover a candidate’s deeper motivators, preferences, and behaviours, plus how those traits will affect their performance in the particular role you’re looking to perform.
This way, you can predict job compatibility by gauging the similarity or dissimilarity of a candidate to the duties and personality patterns required to be successful in the job, your work culture, and with their peers and prospective supervisor.
These assessments also come along with industry benchmarks so you can know which qualities are tied to success in certain jobs—all without having to conduct the research yourself, which saves you even more time and money in your hiring process. Quint-TalSuccess have currently created 200 benchmarks in some of the most popular profiles across the industries for you to readily use.
How Does Our Behavioural Assessment Work?
Most of the behavioural assessments takes just 10-15 minutes for a candidate to complete—but will give you insights that you can continue to use as a development and retention tool once they’re actually an employee at your company.
The How ?
- Whether you choose to evaluate your current top performers or use an industry benchmark, the assessment report will help you to determine the best traits for the job / profile.
- The potential candidate takes the pre-employment personality test during their interview process.
- The company get immediate results so they can take faster decisions
- Once you have your results, you can evaluate the candidate to see how they align with your “wish list†for the role.
- That’s it. You are now armed with additional insight and valuable advice to complement your existing process and hire or promote with confidence!
What Does A Behavioural Assessment For Employment Actually Measure?
Quint-TalSuccess's pre-employment personality test is based on the use of an adjective checklist. It’s a fast, un-intimidating, unbiased, and accurate way to get a candidate to reveal their natural behaviours that might not be readily apparent on their resume or in their interviews. This concept of measuring a person’s behaviour is called psychometrics, which defines non-pathological behaviour. Quint-TalSuccess breaks this down into four key groups:
- ASSERTIVENESS : The need to make things happen.
- COMMUNICATION STYLE: The need to work with people versus the need for proof.
- PACE: The speed at which a person operates.
- STRUCTURE: The degree of dependence on rules.
The behavioural assessment is known for its easy-to-read, easy-to-interpret eight-column bar graph that displays these four behaviours as pairs of columns, because every trait has an opposite. Just one assessment and eight columns will give you all the information you need to make your next hire successful!
Some people are assertive (column 1), while others are cautious (column 2).
Some people are social (column 3), while others are reserved (column 4).
Some people move with urgency (column 5), while others move systematically (column 6).
Some people are comfortable with ambiguity (column 7), while others need rules (column 8).
Why Invest In Pre-Employment Testing?
No two employees are the same. Every person on your staff will learn differently, thrive in a different environment, respond differently to various communication and management styles, and be motivated by different things.
The problem is that a candidate’s resume won’t give you these insights, and it can take months or even years on the job for you to uncover them on your own. In the mean-time, your employees will be frustrated and less engaged if they aren’t in a role that truly aligns with their personality and skills or have to work under a manager who doesn’t understand how to motivate them.
That’s where our behavioural assessment test comes in. This pre-employment personality test is so valuable because it allows you to gain a deeper understanding of these preferences almost immediately. So, whether you’re trying to identify if a new candidate would be a job role and cultural fit in your organisation or determine which current employee would be the best fit for that new management role that just opened up, our predictive assessment can help.
- Enhance your employee development initiatives
- Retain your top talent
- Help managers coach through conflict resolution
- Empower managers to improve their leadership styles
An employee personality test doesn’t only help when you’re looking to fill a new role. The insights you’ll gain from our behavioural assessment test can be consistently used throughout the entire employee lifecycle.
