 
ARE YOU HITTING THE NAIL ON THE HEAD?
- The old saying, "when all you have is a hammer, everything begins
to look like a nail" is often very applicable for businesses trying
to hire the best employees, or trying to solve the problem of high
turnover. Upon examination of the tools used in the hiring
process, many companies rely on a single tool: the Resume.
If the principal information you're
using to conduct your interview is found on the applicant's resume,
you are like the carpenter with only a hammer. There's nothing
wrong with having a hammer, but if that is all you have, your
abilities as a carpenter are significantly restricted. So are
your abilities to conduct an more in-depth interview restricted when
all you know about the person sitting across the desk from you is
what's on the resume.
Our Trademarked slogan puts this in
perspective: "...the closest anyone ever comes to perfection
is on their resume." Have you ever received a
resume that understated the person's abilities or work history?
Probably not! Nor have you probably ever seen one that stated
their goal was to be a "average" employee, or they were a "mediocre
sales person".
ADD NEW TOOLS TO YOUR TOOLBOX - The best
carpenters have a whole toolbox full of different tools designed to
do specific jobs that allow him or her to turn out the highest
quality product. Perhaps you need some additional tools for
your Human Resources Toolbox as well. Consider these:
- PERSONALITY PROFILE -
Discover the Applicant's "natural traits". Are they
outgoing and relationship oriented or quiet and prefer to keep
to themselves? Are they aggressive, tenacious, and do
whatever it takes or passive, patient and compassionate?
There are no good or bad traits, just the traits necessary to do
the job. Some jobs require the aggressive, goal-oriented,
high energy types. Other jobs work better with the
cautious, thoughtful, detail oriented types. The Hire
Success Personality Profile will give you a wealth if
information about each Applicant in a matter of minutes at a
price even the smallest businesses can afford.
Our Personality Profile even provides you with a full report of
Sample Interview Questions to help you conduct a more in-depth
interview! Now that's a saw that will cut through the
facade that's across your desk between you and the "real" person
sitting on the other side!
- APTITUDE TESTS - The
resume said they were at the top of their class academically and
know Microsoft Office as well as Bill Gates. You hire them
and find they can't spell, their grammar is atrocious, and they
can barely type, let alone master financial projections in
Excel.
The Hire Success Custom Aptitude Test Development System allows
you to create any number of FULLY CUSTOMIZABLE Aptitude Tests to
find out just how much each Applicant knows about any subject
necessary for the job. Our Free Software comes
pre-installed with 188 Questions in the subjects of Math,
Spelling, Vocabulary, Grammar, Logic, Clerical and Computer
Related issues including Microsoft Word and Excel.
PLUS, you may add your own questions on these or ANY subject to
develop just the right test for every job in your company.
Now that's adding Tools to your Toolbox!
- INTEGRITY SURVEY - Many
companies need an objective way of asking all
Applicants for certain jobs questions about such things as Drug
and Alcohol use, Theft issues, Attitude Toward Employers and
more. In addition to a full Report compiling all of the
Applicant's responses, the System also generates Interview
Questions to help you get started by conducting a more in-depth
interview.
