Finding the right candidate to hire for a position can feel like shooting in the dark. During interviews, applicants exhibit their best behavior and provide strong answers to interview questions. A firm handshake, nice suit and well-written resume all project a good image. But image can be deceiving. Success in the hiring process requires obtaining objective information about an applicant’s work preferences.
HIRING PROCESS RESEARCH
According to research by Dr. John Hunter of Michigan State University, a hiring process that relies on interviews alone is only 14% successful. However, the success rate soars to 75% when behavioral assessments, background and reference checks are added. With the cost of a poor hire estimated at one to five times annual salary, it’s clear that employers need accurate and objective hiring solutions.

- Prefers to take charge or fit in on a team
- Focuses on building relationships or prefers working alone
- Tends to see the big picture or focus on details
