Where is the personal touch?

Just for fun, I typed "hiring assessment" and "hiring processes" into Google last night to see what came up. After all, it is always good to know what your competition is up too. It was not very shocking to see the myriad of businesses that provide support for corporations that are evaluating prospective employees.

However, after browsing several pages worth of websites, one question was left in my mind, "Where is the personal touch?" Many of these businesses were happy to sell you any one of a couple dozen assessment packages and some even offered a personal consultation to go through the results but where was the personal touch?

In many ways, they are still evaluating a person through their resume. They are evaluating the client through a behavioral resume instead of a technical experience one. So, where is the personal touch with the candidate to figure out what really drives them and motivates them to achieve?

In the Sure Hire Assessment process, we do things the old fashioned way. The first personal touch comes directly to the perspective employer. We define what they personally need from the employee in that job. Second, we ask them about anything personal that is also a concern. One client did wealth affirmations everyday with his staff and it was important that the candidate be OK with participating. The previous employee did not want to participate and had quit. She then turned around and filed a complaint against him. He now has some legal issues to resolve on top of finding a new suitable employee. That certainly was not found in any behavioral assessment.

The second personal touch comes with the candidate themselves. We do ask them to complete the DiSC Behavioral Assessment on their own but that is only one third of the process. The second and third portion of the Sure Hire Assessment measure "how" they process information and reveals important attitudes. For example, how do you find out if a person is more independent, team, or management oriented? They may exhibit traits or can do parts of both, but where are they the strongest? The third portion of the Sure Hire Assessment is very informative at finding what emotions and words lie at the heart of the candidate. We find out what words carry the most meaning for that individual. We find out the candidate's personal psychology that is driving the patterns of behavior that show up in the assessments.

Last, the third personal touch is the 60-90 minute personal consultation with whomever wants to participate from the hiring company. The consultation is performed by the Evolution for Success employee that conducted the interview with the candidate. It is highly personalized and tailors the Assessment results to the exact needs and concerns of the employer.

The Sure Hire Assessment goes one level deeper than just "Assessments" and gives you the most comprehensive personal picture of your candidate. You will know all that you can know about the candidate so you can make the most effective hiring decisions possible. We Guarantee it, or your money back.

We believe our advantage is our personal touch. Let us give your management team the confidence to know they have the best person for the job.
