Benchmarking Jobs & Matching Top Talent

How can you discover the specific talents required by a job and match them to the talents inherent in a person? Only through reports that will give you an accurate reading of the behaviors and values common to both the job and the person — Job Insights and Talent Insights!

Job Insights Will Benchmark the Job

All jobs have unique requirements for behavior. For example, the behavior required by a customer service job's work environment would likely include tactful decision making, contacting many people, patience, being diplomatic and cooperative. These behaviors can be determined by the results of the Job Insights questionnaire, produced by the people who know the job. The result of this benchmarking process is a set of bar graphs that define required, job-related behaviors such as: frequent Interaction with others, customer oriented, versatility, frequent change, urgency, competitiveness, organized workplace, and analysis of data.

In addition, all jobs have inherent rewards and a predominant culture that drive performance excellence. When the job's rewards/culture are in line with the person performing the job, then the result is performance excellence. For example, one of a customer service job's rewards may be expressed as "gaining personal satisfaction by performing the job consistently the right way, according to a predefined set of rules and procedures." People whose values, or motivators, are in line with that job's rewards will excel.

Talent Insights Will Determine the Candidate’s Talent

People have unique behaviors that can be matched to jobs, but seldom are! When a person's behaviors are in sync with a job's, the result is increased performance and employee satisfaction. Common behaviors range from outgoing and assertive, to soft-spoken, mild and reserved; from adventurous and daring, to controlled and restrained, and everything in between. The job applicants who complete the Talent Insights report respond to questions that define these unique behaviors. The result is a set of bar graphs that indicate where the respondent falls within the scale of common job-related behaviors: frequent interaction with others, customer oriented, versatility, frequent change, urgency, competitiveness, organized workplace, analysis of data.

Like jobs, people have inherent values, or motivators, that drive their behaviors. Talent Insights helps to define those as well, such as "desiring a return on investment of time and money," and "finding personal rewards in continuous learning."
