Hiring the Right Employee

The Impact of Hiring the Right Employee

Most CEOs agree that the success of an organization is ultimately tied to the quality of its people. The Berke Group goes a step further to say that the success of an organization's people is ultimately tied to how well-matched they are to their positions. Consistently hiring the right employee can mean the difference between an organization’s success or failure.

Quite often individuals are selected for employment based on their experience, their intelligence or their interviewing skills with little attention given to whether or not their unique personality traits and talents match the requirements of the position or the culture of the company. The end result is that too often the right people are hired for the wrong jobs.

It is wrongfully assumed that good training can bring any employee "up-to-speed" over time, without considering that some hard-wired behaviors and abilities simply cannot be taught. Extensive training will yield little or no results in enabling someone who is naturally low in personality traits like assertiveness or sociability to become a highly assertive or sociable person. Likewise, no amount of training can transform someone into a strong problem solver if he/she does not have a natural talent for it.

The Berke Assessment empowers organizations with the knowledge necessary to "Hire the Best" by effectively matching the right people to the right jobs, resulting in consistently superior performance.

The Berke Assessment provides easy-to-use tools to help managers identify the key personality traits and natural talents required for success in a given position, and then guides candidates through a series of online exercises that measure their personality and natural talents against the requirements of the position. The resulting report provides specific feedback regarding areas in which candidates are a strong fit with the position as well as areas in which they are not, and offers "probing suggestions" for managers to explore further during the interview process. The end goal is to enable managers to hire the right employee each and every time.
