Hire Right, Match Right

Employers will soon be facing the most serious shortage of skilled workers in our history. Few are prepared to fill the vacancies. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, more than 25% of the working population will reach retirement age by 2010. Nearly all of the 24 million people who stop working in this decade will be experienced employees heading into retirement. By 2012, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics says that nearly 50% of the current workforce will become eligible for retirement.

Of 57,000 managers surveyed in 35 countries, 90 percent list hiring as among their most important decisions. At the same time, however, the search for the right candidates is being complicated by many factors. First is the administrative nightmare of an increased percentage of people looking for a position. Nearly 1 in 5 American workers has been laid off from a full or part-time job since 2000, and there are more workers who are always looking for a new job regardless of their current job position. In addition, inaccuracies and outright lies are on the increase - as many as 44% skilled worker and up to 23% of executive resumes contain at least some lies.

The Michigan State University School of Business study showed that assessments are the most accurate means of predicting the performance of an individual. Assessments were rated four times more accurate than interviews. If you accurately assess a person's soft skills, the payoff is enormous. You've not only landed a productive employee but freed the employee’s manager to do constructive, rather than remedial, coaching.

We will help you to determine which personnel evaluation tools best suit your particular needs. Reports are computer-generated narratives that assist in both evaluating new hires and determining hidden talents in existing employees. We offer a wide array of computerized profiling, assessment, screening and surveying tools, as well as speaking engagements and seminars.
