How can Predictive Index® (PI) help my company in the selection of new personnel?

The PI hiring test enhances recruitment and hiring success in several ways. First, the PI hiring test improves employee job fit when selecting candidates, letting you hire right the first time. This is because PI's Performance Requirements Options (PRO) worksheet defines the behavioral traits that an ideal employee would need to possess in order to be successful in a particular job. Using this information helps you know what to look for in potential new hires and quickly tells you when a mismatch is apparent.

More on how the PI test enhances hiring

Organizations that use PI testing as a regular part of their hiring cycle save time and money throughout the employment process. In recruitment, PI will provide the tools for enhanced communication with your prospects which will include language that will resonate with your target audience. Even recruitment ad copy can be enhanced by understanding what the PI hiring test indicated about the motivational factors of employees currently successful in the advertised position - and to what stimuli an individual is most receptive.

The PI hiring test process enables a more thorough, disciplined and objective approach to hiring decisions. The PI test complements your traditional interview methods by allowing insight into a candidate's workplace behavior and thus providing you the insight to ask those probing questions. This can include how a candidate might handle a specific work situation based on behavioral traits of the individual and information about other team members.
