Strategic partnerships has been around for

Tapping Into Talent: Are you in the Same Boat as Everyone Else?
By Integrity HR 502-753-0970
We’ve all been there. After an extensive and thorough search for a line manager, one candidate stands out. This candidate has the right experience, solid qualifications, and a relevant work history, and she gave an impressive performance during the interview process. She said the right things, put forward some great ideas and generally presented very well. You hired her. Three months later, you begin to question your decision. Your new hire’s team appears disgruntled, morale is low, and output and productivity are well behind the figures from the previous quarter. After investigating further and speaking with a few key team members, you realize there’s a disconnect—a mismatch. While she looked impressive on paper and presented well during one-on-one interviews, your new hire’s style, approach, and behavior on the job are simply inconsistent with the values and expectations of your organization. Her modus operandi is foreign to her colleagues. Your new hire is not a good cultural fit and one or more of the following hazards may be the cause. 1. Inadequate capability
2. Poor job fit
3. Fuzzy goals and accountabilities
4. Poor relationship with manager
5. Poor relationship with co-workers
6. Health and wellness issues
7. Physical and environmental factors You can avoid some of these potential problems by utilizing assessment tools during the recruitment and promotion process. Recommended by Integrity HR, the ProfileXT assesses the total person through gaining a better understanding of –
Can the person do the job? How will the person perform? Will the person want to do the job & behave in a way suitable to the role?
It is important to understand a person’s innate behaviors and interests when trying to match him with the right job. Know the job, know what type of person is successful in that job, and then hire others who have the behavioral traits that fit that job. This is easier said than done because it is difficult to gauge behaviors in a job interview, but behavioral assessments can be extremely helpful. By creating JobMatch patterns, the assessment will assist you in making the right decision for the future of your organization. Think “Total Person” and you will be amazed at what you can discover with a valid,
reliable assessment tool.
