Résumé writers write great fiction writers
In a survey of recent college graduates, 95% said they would be willing to  false statements in their résumés in order to get a job. Forty-one percent admitted they had already done so, according to a report in Nation's Business (May, 1999). If this is true how do you know if you are hiring the right person.  Research shows that is take about 6 months for person's inherent behaviors to show up on the job.  By then is it too late.  You have lost lost 5 major customers and tension has risen in your work environment and you increase your risk of losing some of your best employees.

Don't Surrender! Assessments do help significantly
Assessing behavioral traits improved the hiring success rate to 38%.

When both thinking abilities and behavioral traits are assessed, the right people are hired 54% of the time.

When an assessment of occupational interests is added, successful results improve to 66%.

The most impressive results are achieved, however, when an integrated assessment is used - one that measures behavioral traits, thinking, occupational interests, plus "Job Match."

These integrated assessments employ cutting-edge technology and empirical data to assess the qualities of "The Total Person." In doing so, the individual qualities of candidates are compared to the qualities of employees who performing their duties in a superior manner. These 21st Century assessments successfully identify potentially excellent employees better than 75% of the time.

Job Match outranks all other factors
A well-documented study published in Harvard Business Review concludes that "Job Match" is by far the most reliable predictor of effectiveness on the job. The study considered many factors including the age, sex, race, education and experience of approximately 300,000 subjects. It evaluated their job performance and found no significant statistical differences, except in the area of "Job Match." The conclusion: "Experience, college degrees or other accepted factors aren't as as reliable in predicting job performance as job profiling is."

The only reliable method for evaluating "Job Match" is with a properly designed assessment instrument, capable of measuring the essential job-related characteristics particular to each specific job. Human Insights has assessments designed to increase your hiring effectiveness by over 60%!
