Know who you hire - before you hire!

Who knows the direction of the labor market over the coming months or years? It is anyone's guess.

What is known is that in order for a company to truly succeed, they need to attract and hire the best fit to the desired role & capabilities, the culture and other essential elements. The cost of a poor hiring decision is estimated to be 2 to 4 times the base salary, training & benefit costs and lost opportunity. That can sink a business – be it with one hire or many.

Regardless of the quantity of available jobs, a company's competitive edge increasingly will be tied to the quality of its talent. Poor and even average hires will reduce profitability, stunt growth and lead to a vulnerable position relative to competitors. The good news is that companies can learn from the science around pre-employment assessment and reference checking. WorkProsody has selected a suite of assessment and reference checking tools to help your organization make better hiring, promotion and management decisions.

How familiar is this: You are ready to hire and have one-two-five candidates that are in the final selection pool – and you or your managers cannot seem to agree on one or cannot see the differences in each. You could defer to making a “gut feel” decision (never effective) or utilize   proven our Predictive Analytics: Hire Smart!© process.

Utilizing validated tools  (assessments, evaluations, etc.), experience and insight we can help you reach a better hiring decision so you Right Hire – The First Time reducing costly hiring mistakes, poor productivity, impact on other employees and impact to customers.

The process is simple: We determine your hiring and/or staffing need to understand the core competencies and characteristics of the “ideal” candidate, candidate(s) complete assessment(s) as determined. One of our team conducts an unemotional telephone interview to vet findings and fit, and then we provide our recommendation to you – quickly before the candidate moves on!

The Case for Reengineering Selection ... 

• Do you want to be certain your next hiring or promotion decision is the best?
• Are you looking to protect your company against the dangers of liability lawsuits while improving service to your customers?  
• Is your goal to increase revenue and create a team environment that is enjoyable and harmonious?

Having the right people in the right job - what many may refer to as right matching --- will allow you to achieve this. It is important to remember: many people, currently in jobs, are mismatched to the needs of the company and the job. They are there performing at a less-than-stellar level, but often go unnoticed. They are referred to as the walking dead - there but not really there. It is estimated that 71% of people in jobs today are mismatched when it comes to drive, engagement, skills, loyalty, etc. That is a direct impact to the bottom-line and we can help change that.

Note from Dan Moran:
I have been in the business of helping individuals excel in their career and helping companies strive to hire the best of the talent in the candidate pool for 24 + years. Over the years, I have used many assessments in my practice and to help employers. Some have said I am a SME (subject matter expert) in the field – not sure, but I do know how to match the right assessment to a companies need resulting in their ability to make more informed hiring decisions, critical to making a difference in their competitive position, profitability and culture.
Today the need to hire the right person the first time and to eliminate hiring mistakes is ever more critical. The candidate pool is larger; it is getting more and more difficult to get credible information about job candidates due company policies and laws.
This is where WorkProsody and our team can help. We have selected the best-of-the-best tools – normally available to only the largest companies – and make them available to companies of all sizes and industries.

This is why selecting the right person – or promoting or changing the role of a current employee – is critical:

• The cost of making a poor hiring decision is estimated to be 2 to 4 times the cost of salary, benefits, training and lost revenue. That can sink a company, small or large.
• Studies prove that employees who are fit to their job and the culture of the company they work for provide better service, impact profitability at significantly larger levels and don't just work for a company – they advocate for a company.
• Due-diligence in hiring can and will protect your company against the potential of wrongful hiring lawsuits (and wrongful discharge lawsuits) and conducting validated assessments and complete, competency-based reference checking (through tools like OutMatch! – a leader in their emerging industry of automated reference checking) can be critical.
• Hiring made upon simply an interview without further assessment or background checking is effective less than 25% of times.
• Human resource issues – discontent in the workplace, "drama" and the things that managers and owners live with every day that often make them just want to run from their business can be avoided through properly and completely vetting candidates – before you hire and have to live with them.

There are many other reasons as well. See a need – please contact me so we can discuss your needs and situation, and thank you again for visiting.
