Join me and Jeffrey Lyons live for our free workshop: https://raylendavis.easywebinar.live/JeffreyLyons

Hiring the right talent has always been one of the biggest challenges for any business. From high turnover rates to the struggle of finding the perfect fit for your team, the hiring process can be daunting and costly. As a business owner, I’ve faced these challenges head-on and have spent countless hours trying to optimize our hiring processes. It wasn’t until I met Jeffrey Lyons that I realized it is truly possible to consistently hire top talent.

The Hiring Dilemma

Every business owner knows the pain of hiring the wrong person. You go through a long interview process, invest time and money in training, and then, a few months down the line, they leave or fail to meet expectations. This cycle is not only frustrating but also incredibly expensive. According to a study by the Society for Human Resource Management, the average cost of a bad hire can be as much as five times the person’s annual salary.

I’ve always believed there had to be a better way, a more scientific approach to hiring. But traditional HR practices and gut-feeling decisions were all I had to rely on. The idea of using data and analytics to make informed hiring decisions seemed like a distant dream. That’s when I met Jeffrey Lyons, and my perspective on hiring changed forever.

Meeting Jeffrey Lyons

Jeffrey Lyons is the founder of Measure to Succeed and a pioneer in the field of Talent Engineering Technology (TET). Our paths crossed right here on Linkedin, and I was immediately intrigued by his approach to hiring and talent management. Jeffrey introduced me to the concept of using analytics and data to profile high performers and guide hiring decisions.

During our conversation, Jeffrey explained that TET involves running diagnostics on jobs and organizations to develop models of successful employees. These models are then used to guide hiring decisions and development programs, ensuring that new hires are not only a good fit for the role but also have the potential to excel and grow within the company.

The Power of Talent Engineering Technology (TET)

Jeffrey’s approach is revolutionary. By identifying the key behaviors, skills, and attributes of top performers, TET creates a profile that can be used to assess candidates. This data-driven approach removes much of the guesswork from the hiring process and significantly increases the likelihood of finding the right fit.

Jeffrey shared some eye-opening statistics during our discussion. For instance, using TET, companies can triple their odds of hiring high performers. This isn’t just marketing fluff; it’s backed by real data and success stories from businesses that have implemented TET and seen remarkable improvements in their hiring outcomes.

Implementing TET in Your Business

So, how does TET work in practice? Here’s a breakdown of the process Jeffrey outlined:

1. Identify Top Performers: The first step is to identify your current top performers and understand what makes them successful. This involves analyzing their behaviors, skills, and attributes.

2. Create Profiles: Using diagnostics and analytics, create profiles of these top performers. These profiles serve as benchmarks for assessing new candidates.

3. Assess Candidates: Use the profiles to guide your hiring decisions. Assess candidates based on how closely they match the profiles of your top performers.

4. Ongoing Assessments: Implement ongoing assessments to ensure continuous improvement and adaptation. This helps in refining the profiles and making better hiring decisions over time.

Overcoming Common Hiring Challenges

One of the biggest challenges businesses face is skepticism about new technologies and methodologies. Jeffrey addressed this head-on, explaining that many HR professionals are stuck in traditional practices and are hesitant to adopt new approaches. However, those who have embraced TET have seen significant improvements in their hiring processes and overall business performance.

Another challenge is the remote work environment. With the rise of remote work, many businesses struggle with productivity and engagement. Jeffrey emphasized that top performers are often self-motivated and productive, regardless of their location. TET helps identify these individuals, ensuring that remote work does not hinder productivity.

Transforming Your Hiring Process

My experience with Jeffrey Lyons has been transformative. By adopting Talent Engineering Technology, you can streamline your hiring process, reduce turnover, and build a team of top performers. The insights and techniques Jeffrey shared have opened my eyes to the possibilities of data-driven hiring.
