The tricky bit is…how do you define the skills, behaviours, and attitudes that workers need to perform their roles effectively? How do you know if they are qualified for the job? In other words, how do you know what to measure?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Our assessments system combines the results of Cognitive Ability (General Reasoning) Test and Personality Assessments to produce a job-fit percentage by comparing the candidate\u2019s responses with a behavioural template which we call a benchmark. To explain the concept behind job role benchmarking \u2013 it is not necessarily about one benchmark or another but often a job requires a mix of different competencies so it may often require two or more. As an example of this consider the following scenario<\/strong>: Some people have asked us in the past if candidates should\ntake different assessments for different jobs. The answer is NO. All candidates\ntake the same assessments \u2013 it\u2019s a bit like exams where the exams are set in\neach subject so that all students sit the same exams in the same subjects… <\/p>\n\n\n\n Off the shelf V Bespoke benchmarks <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" You’re probably familiar with the phrase “what gets measured gets done.” Defining and measuring effectiveness \u2013 especially the performance of workers \u2013 is an important part of any hiring manager.

Once a candidate has completed the assessments their profile is then compared to any of the 150+ job-fit benchmarks in our library. These range from administrative, financial and IT to sales, management and customer service..
The job-match displayed as a percentage which means client users can quickly see how they measure up and easily compare all candidates for specific job roles. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Steve is a long-distance truck driver \u2013 his job role entails driving but also interaction with customs, other hauliers and maybe customers when delivering the consignments. <\/em>
So, we might suggest \u2018Driver\u2019 as the prime benchmark with \u2018Customer Service\u2019 benchmark as secondary. We would expect a high job-fit percentage to the \u2018Driver\u2019 benchmark but maybe a lower percentage to the other etc\u2026). <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>Our team of psychologists have analysed a range of common job roles and descriptions and built a series of general business benchmarks that can be used off the shelf.
Whereas we cover a huge range should you want to define your own secret sauce for a specific job role we can help you with this too!
