Why Hiring For Value?

We help companies solve the problem of RECRUITMENT DEBT.

Recruitment Debt is the knock-on costs from recruiting the wrong people, i.e the impact of bad hires on your business, on your time and on your energy.

Mis-hires add more people problems to your business, and more hassle to your day. It distracts and interrupts you from what you would prefer to be doing, the things that drive your business forward - delivering on your strategies, goals, objectives and tasks.

We help you overcome this by helping you to recruit A-players for your business based on predicting future employee VALUE.

How Is Hiring For Value Different?

Familiar with the saying "PRICE is what you pay, VALUE is what you get"? Well its the same with employees - "SALARY is what you pay, VALUE is what you get". But, some people are INVESTMENTS, some people are BILLS. It's not always immediately obvious which is which.

Many poor candidates have great CV's, can build great rapport and interview well. In addition, many great candidates are overlooked for a variety of biased reasons and perceived flaws.

We help you to cut through all of that. Using stats the way we read them, you'll be able to find value in candidates that no one else can see, before you hire them.

How Does Hiring For Value Work?

Better maths equals better results.

Most people when they recruit focus on "buying" new employees by assessing performance. But, your goal shouldn’t be to buy new employees - it should be to buy PROFIT. And in order to buy PROFIT, you need PERFORMANCE in the jobs you hire for, but VALUE in the people you hire.

Why? Because, PERFORMANCE doesn’t fully correlate with VALUE, it’s only part of the story.

Employee Value = Current Performance + Future Performance - Total Cost

Instead we help clients to objectively assess for 3x A’s in every applicant: Aptitude, Ability & Attitude.

APTITUDE

Current Performance

Do they have the skills, experience, qualifications, competencies, behaviours and strengths necessary to do the job? I.e. can they do the job to a high level of VALUE?

ABILITY

Future Performance

Do they have potential, can they learn new things, solve problems, can we coach them? I.e. can they be developed over time and give VALUE way into the future?

(BAD) ATTITUDE

Total Cost

Do they have any attitudes or warning signs that I should be worried about? I.e what’s the total cost of the candidate beyond their salary and benefits package? How much hassle might they be?

We have been using the assessments for over a decade and the platform has become an integral component of our recruitment, interviewing, and hiring process. The results that are produced from the assessment tool have proven to provide accurate insight into a candidate’s compatibility with the position for which they are interviewing and acts as a great jumping off point for the in-person interview process.

- Eric Robinson, Vice President

Our company has been using the assessments for years now. It has been a great tool to help us get to know candidates better and to ask deeper questions in the interview process to ensure the role we have open is a good fit for them and that they would be happy and fulfilled in the work. It's also helped us as we onboard new hires and manage and help develop people who have worked for us for years. The assessments have become an essential and helpful part of our company's talent management plan and the team is always quick to respond to questions that we have and is friendly and a pleasure to work with.

We have just started introducing Psychometric Testing as part of our recruitment process. The team gave a really good overview of what they offer, how their platform works and what we can get out of it.  They're always on hand if more guidance is needed and they get to understand your needs and requirements. The results of the assessments have been easy to interpret and have helped shape our 2nd interview process.
