Finally, what I’ve been talking about for years is being validated. Some companies use assessment tools as a pre-hire screening mechanism. However, they have been focused on specific job and core competencies. There is now a shift to either include or solely use assessments that measure what some call the softer side of life; attitude and personality.
My focus has been on organizational fit and values; how will the potential employee fit within your organization’s culture. I’ve always believed that you should hire for attitude and train for skill. My years in the military taught me that you can train an individual to perform almost any task as long as their attitude is right.
So my questions to you this morning are: What are you measuring? And are they the right factor(s) to be measuring?
If you are interested, contact me to discuss the proper assessment tool to use in your organization.
