Our Solution
There are a multitude of personality tests available that often include a single score or pass/fail scoring system or a few attributes rated either high or low, these rarely provide a complete picture of an individual by taking into consideration how the person’s mental abilities interacts with his or her personality. While easy to interpret, such scoring systems over-simplify an individual and open the door to potential litigation.
At Talent X-Ray we realize the importance of having one instrument that includes both mental and personality measurement, plus a scoring system that is not subject to the concerns of the pass/fail methods. We call this the 3-Factor Analysis, and the Achiever assessment is the first test in America to include all 3 critical test elements.
Three simple steps:
Establish Benchmarks
Establish benchmark characteristics required for success in all the roles in your organization either through an international database of over 1,000 jobs or uniquely created based around your top performers.
Assess Candidates
Invite candidates to take a comprehensive assessment that they can complete from anywhere on any device. Generate a tailored report based on candidates’ responses and the specific benchmarks with specific behavioral questions to allow you to dig deeper into the true candidate’s makeup.
Coach and Mentor
Once you’ve made the right hire, get them up to speed with specific coaching and mentoring recommendations, allowing their manager to understand the ins and outs of their employee.
