The old adage: people are your most important asset turns out to be wrong. People are not your most important asset. The right people are." Jim Collins

Optimize your hiring:

  1. Companies often hire the wrong candidates or fail to hire the best candidates  or pick the wrong people to promote, put into sales, put into service etc.. because they don't have a systematic approach  based on a clear and accurate understanding with metrics on all the qualifications and behavioral competencies needed to determine job success. Although most employers would agree on the importance of this, few companies have the time or expertise to create effective job success formulas.  We solve this problem by providing more than 6000 proven and pre-configured Job Success Formulas to help your company easily and accurately assess the eligibility and suitability factors that lead to job success.
  2.  When you hire, promote or designate someone with a special responsibility, you want to make sure you have the best person for the job: integrity, attitude,  fit, …All these are key. On the other hand, no one is perfect fit for significant responsibility so knowing the potential issues and dealing with them up front can be what assures success.   To determine the best person and issues to be dealt with, the most important issue is  Suitability. Not can the person do the job, but will they?  It consists of natural tendencies, motivations, preferences, interests, personality, motivations  and it is also alternatively known by a similar concept, Emotional Intelligence.  KEY POINT, too often overlooked:  The underlying factors determining suitability can be measured accurately and through access to the extensive research by the Harrison organization, you can accurately determine "fit" for most positions.
  3. For 50 years, many assessments have been used for hiring, team building and personal development, most based on a theory developed by Jung in the 20's which identified 4 dimensions of personality. These tools that range from Myers-Briggs to Disc and 16pf and many others essentially typing tools that place people into one of 4 to 20 categories with little or no ability to detect deception.  Since the late 90s, they have become  legally risky  to use for hiring due to the inability to prove they can predict performance.   A more powerful technology that can actually measure over 170 traits and has predictive capability on average nearly 50% greater than the other alternatives is the Harrison Assessments.

"The U.S. Department of Labor has estimated the costs to replace an employee to be approximately 1/3 their annual salary; but when you start looking at the impact of hiring the wrong employee and having to replace them, some studies say 2.5 times annual earnings, some 4 times and some even higher."
