A method of analyzing the fitness of a candidate for a specific position comprises benchmarking the position by specifying weighted position criteria and using managers' and top performers' responses to predictive instruments in the form of behavior and values questionnaires; scoring the candidate by computing a weighted average of the candidate's scores on the position criteria combined with the candidate's predictive instrument scores vis a vis those of the benchmark participants; and reporting to the hiring manager the candidate's overall score and, preferably, individual scores for each continuum of the predictive instruments. In the preferred embodiment, the method also entails providing a database of characteristics associated with various ranges of scores on the predictive instruments' continua, together with potentially problematic motivations or behaviors likely to be exhibited by a candidate scoring well below or above the benchmark participants for each continuum, and suggested follow-up interview questions. All such information is preferably included in the same report to the hiring manager that contains the candidate's overall score and predictive-instrument continuum scores. |
