Why Personality Testing?

As our slogan says: "Because the closest anyone comes to perfection is on a resume."

Having the ability to learn about a person's personality reveals many new questions you will surely want to discuss in the interview before making a hiring or promotion decision. Interviews often start by having the applicant tell the interviewer something about themselves. Perhaps even more often, the applicant is better prepared for the interview than the person conducting the interview!

Having personality information available can help keep the interview focused on the important issues. For example, if a person is applying for a Sales position, the personality test may reveal they are of a type that is very methodical and detail oriented. If the most successful people in that position tend to be more relationship builders rather than making sure every detail is covered before moving the sale along, then you would want to ask the applicant more questions in this area.

  • More consistency

    A person's resume won't tell you if he or she is the best person for the job – and the interview may not be a very accurate measure, either. Our personality test provides a reliable, consistent way of evaluating each applicant before you conduct interviews.

  • Reduced turnover - and expense

    With personality tests, you can identify key traits in your best employees and hire people with known "success factors" to minimize turnover, improve job satisfaction and reduce hiring costs.

  • Improved management relationships

    With Hire Success’ personality profile tool, you can discover hidden talents and skills of current employees and make sure they’re given the chance to use them. Plus, you'll be able to better manage your team members and help them – and your business – improve and succeed.

  • Enhanced understanding of applicants

    Getting insight about candidates’ personalities helps you better understand applicants in advance. Plus, it helps you focus on the most important issues during interviews – and gives you the chance to develop additional questions for discussion to help you make the right choice.

Refine your results by creating "baselines"

If you could test everyone in your company, you would probably see various patterns of common personality characteristics emerge in the various positions. Some characteristics may represent the personalities of the BEST people in that job, others may be common among the WORST. Having an OBJECTIVE tool to evaluate this information allows you to establish a "Baseline Profile" of the "ideal" candidate for that job.

Hire Success provides you the ability to easily test every employee in your company. Using that information, we provide tools to analyze the Reports of your best employees in each position. We save that information in a "Baseline" file that is used to compare each person applying for the position covered by the Baseline file. Now, you not only see the applicant's Personality traits, but you can also see to what degree each applicant brings the RIGHT COMBINATION of Personality traits most commonly found in YOUR best employees.

"The first thing we did was test our employees to develop a baseline that characterized the unique traits of our best employees. We test all of our potential candidates using the baseline information we developed. As a result, I now know what I am looking for in a candidate and the Hire Success System has given us a tool that has helped us a lot in this area."
