Written by DISCInsights | 6/1/12 9:05 PM

Hire smarter with PeopleKeys' predictive hiring tools. Here are the tools you will need to hire right the first time:

1. A PeopleKeys Business Account: This robust online delivery system allows one to add and organize assessments, email assessment invitations, view results in multiple formats for analysis and career compatibility, and store all completed assessments for future reference. Contact us today to set up your free PeopleKeys Business Platform.

2. PeopleKeys 4D Reports: This four dimensional report provides a 360 degree view of human behavior, including:

  • DISC Assessment: Personality, communication and workplace styles, leadership strengths, predictable behaviors in the workplace and with human interaction
  • TEAMS Assessment: Thinking style and what roles one would naturally gravitate towards in a group setting
  • Values Assessment: Workplace values
  • Behavioral Attitudes Index: Internal motivators

3. Performance Benchmark: We've assessed personality styles and occupations for over 30 years, and have created ideal performance benchmarks for hundreds of positions. You may apply any of our benchmarks to your position, and all prospective applicants will be assessed. A benchmark is an ideal personality range that will result in a behavioral match between the applicant and the position's personality requirements. Each benchmark includes a high and low range for the 4 different DISC Personality Styles, the 5 TEAMS Thinking Styles, and the 4 Values Style and 6 Internal Motivators. This report assesses strengths and normal behavior of individuals, making it safe and legal for hiring. An applicant falling exactly within the ideal range would be a green match. Those slightly outside of the benchmark would be a yellow match and those completely outside of the benchmark would be red.

This matching process is aimed at finding a person who will not only enjoy the position and excel at the required skill set, but also whose potential can be optimized as they have all of the needed qualities for this type of position. The benchmark is the final filtering process to make sure that the qualified applicant is also the perfect match for the job.

Some of the occupational benchmarks available are listed below. If you are hiring for a position that is not listed below, please contact sales@peoplekeys.com to inquire about the addition of your needed benchmark into your PeopleKeys account. If you are hiring for a rare or especially specific benchmark, a benchmarking study or manager's survey may be needed, incurring an additional charge.

Steps on Using the PeopleKeys' Predictive Hiring Tools

1. Behavioral Filtering: After narrowing down the most qualified applicants for the position, based on education, experience, skill set and requirements, from your own job posting, then send them through the PeopleKeys Hiring System to filter for a behavioral match (Personality Style, Communication Style, Contribution to a Group, Thinking Style, Internal Motivators).

2. Performance Benchmarks: After your final qualified applicants have taken the PeopleKeys 4D Report for hiring, you would apply the Performance Benchmark to see who are green, yellow, or red behavioral matches.

3. Interview with confidence: After narrowing down your favorite applicants, move on to interviewing and hire with confidence. Remember that your PeopleKeys hiring reports provide specially generated interview questions for each applicant based on their DISC Personality Style.
