Why will understanding the most successful behavioral types in particular jobs help me attract the best candidates?

The best candidates for your job opening are the people who will be naturally suited for a particular job and fit into the organizational culture. Those are the candidates that you want to be ready to accept your job offer. But, how do you make sure that you're connecting with them in the most effective way during the recruitment and selection process? By identifying and matching them with the job that not only fits their skill set, but their personality type, they will be excited about their future opportunities and success at your organization.

This is a core strength of the Predictive Index. After incorporating the PI into your processes, you'll know what personality behavior type to seek. This information will set the right candidate apart from all others providing the critical insight to help you find the right candidate for every position in your organization.

Predictive Index®'s (PI's) personality survey helps you define, attract and hire best candidates

A personality test implies that there is a right or wrong answer. The Predictive Index is a free choice survey that improves employee job fit when hiring. You hire right.the first time. PI's Performance Requirements Options (PRO) worksheet defines the behavioral traits of an ideal hire for each type of job, for each member of a team. Once you understand the specific behaviors most successful in a particular job or career, you have a road map for success in all recruitment and retention activities.

PI is not a test but a process that assesses people's motivating needs and the stimuli to which individuals are most receptive. In the recruitment cycle, you can use this information about successful current employees in particular jobs to craft communications to candidates for similar jobs. This ensures that your messaging incorporates language resonant with targets.

Personality tests come and go but not PI. For 50 years, the Predictive Index has been helping organizations of all sizes with their people needs.

Howard Tenenbaum, VP of auto dealer group Keyes Motors says this about PI's personality tests: "There is no question about it, we are better today because of our people. The Predictive Index is a big part of that. PI gives you the insight to make a good hire."

Using PI's personality test information, New City Mortgage hired a candidate who had the behavioral traits needed, but not the experience. Jerry Wittenberg, a New City principal, shared his experience with PI: "We feel in hindsight, this was the best decision for us. The candidate shows great promise!"

Lumbermen's President Roger Vanderheide used PI tests to profile the company's most successful outside salespeople and confirmed they were ideally suited to their work. Vanderheide also trained managers to use PI. Over time, Vanderheide profiled all employees. PI tests find Lumbermen's people well matched to their jobs. Operations VP Steve Petersen agrees: "Due to our growth, we have had to add numerous people at all levels of the company. By using PI as a tool in the hiring process, we can say that few hiring mistakes have been made."
