Hiring

Overview

Get the most out of every interview and hire more people like your top performers. When it comes to employee hiring, our consultants can help you with everything from evaluating your most promising applicants to redesigning your current selection system. You will learn what qualities are needed for success with your company, how to determine if someone has them and how to hire right the first time.

1. How often have you hired someone whose best performance was during the interview?
2. Do you know the qualities that distinguish your best performers?
3. How can you be sure you're making the best choice between two qualified candidates?

Hiring Top Performers

With our valid, accurate and in-depth personality assessment, the Caliper Profile, and our unparalleled database of the qualities needed for success in virtually any position, our consultants can show you which candidates have the greatest potential to succeed in your current opening as well as point out their potential for growth and advancement. You will understand what motivates individuals, how they will get along with team members and managers and how their personality traits translate to job performance.

We can also help you develop a success model based on the specific qualities that distinguish your most successful employees. With this guide, you can compare promising applicants to your best performers and ensure you are hiring the people who share those same qualities.

And, if you need to clarify position requirements, rewrite job descriptions, structure better interviews or revamp your entire hiring process, we can help.

For high-volume positions or to get a quick view of someone's basic sales or service abilities, our quick, online screening assessment, the Caliper First Step, will show you which candidates have the qualities needed to succeed and help you eliminate the individuals displaying the least potential for success.

How Can a Personality Assessment Help Me Hire the Best?

With the Caliper Profile, our consultants can provide you with a clear, accurate picture of an individual's strengths, limitations, motivations and potential. Then, these results are compared to our unparalleled database of information about the qualities it takes to succeed in virtually every position, as well as the information you provide about your corporate culture, your management style and the responsibilities of the job. From here, our consultants can tell you if an individual is a natural fit for that position. This is what we call “job-matching.”

Making the Most of the Interview

For an interview to be effective, you need a very clear sense of the key qualities and competencies you are seeking in the ideal candidate. Only then will you be ready to develop a list of probing questions that will help you determine the extent to which each applicant possesses these qualities. Based on the results of the Caliper Profile, our consultants can provide interview questions that help you explore any areas of possible concern. You'll learn what to ask and what to listen for—so you can delve beneath the surface and leave the interview with your concerns confirmed or with insights into how the individual has learned to work around possible shortcomings.
