If You Were a Tree, What Kind Would You Be?

(It depends....Are you looking for an elm, a cypress, a cherry, a river birch or perhaps a weeping willow?)

Please forgive me for my outright ridicule of some interviewers and their "sophisticated" techniques for assessing applicants.

Making mistakes in hiring professionals is extremely costly and using "gimmicks" to "challenge" and "test" applicants is just flushing good money after bad.

You want scientifically predictive NORMATIVE psychometric assessments that are PROVEN through extensive validity studies TO PREDICT PERFORMANCE and RETENTION over time.

We've found the valid way to cost effectively measure those intangible traits that predict high performance, motivation and success when matched to the right job with the right people doing the right work. And, although our tools stand alone for legal validity in hiring, we can still help you think through your people plan. We have examples of how these predictive tools, in the right hands, have saved companies, literally, hundreds of thousands of dollars.  

For example, rather than pouring through hundreds or thousands of applications, we offer employers short and inexpensive on-line "screens" that quickly cull the optimum candidates to spend time evaluating. Objectively, legally and inexpensively screening to your hiring criteria, you can quickly select the critical few applicants worth your team's analysis time.

For more detailed evaluation of management, sales or even "individual contributors" we have predictive instruments designed to calibrate, among 7 traits, a person's motivational profile, to identify their true "triggers". You can "see" the fit of your candidates for your company, your management and reward system in a matter of minutes before you even meet them.  The ultimate in time and energy savings.

These tools have been validated for over 30 years and with over 4.5 million people in a variety of industries and jobs from financial services to manufacturing and from sales management to customer care. (A version is even being used in the National Hockey League to identify and predict an athlete's long term success in that professional sport.)
