Matching the Right Person to the Right Job

For nearly two decades clients have been using the John Beane/Staff Development Services Hiring Report to take their companies to the top by matching the right person to the right job. Successful companies have determined that their organization can only be as successful as the people they hire. Our clients realize that the time and effort they put into the hiring process up front results in decreased employee turnover and, therefore, increased profits down the road.

The Hiring Report is developed using data from one of the most amazing assessment tools on the market today---the Simmons Personal Survey. This tool measures emotional intelligence (EQ), a function of the lower and central parts of the brain made up of emotional drives and behavioral tendencies that are motivated by feelings. Research has shown that, in most cases, EQ is even more important to academic, job, and relationship performance than IQ!

The Simmons Personal Survey is a multi-scaled instrument that measures how much of an emotional character tendency a person has. Our easy to read Hiring Report examines thirteen emotional character tendencies. We work closely with our clients to determine the demands of a particular job. Then, by analyzing the survey results, we can determine with approximately 90% accuracy if the candidate has the appropriate levels of the character tendencies needed to succeed in the job.

Example: A firm is looking for a receptionist. To be successful in this position the person must be able to move from task to task, be very patient and helpful to both clients and co-workers and keep a smile on his/her face. The survey measures change (ability to multitask), tolerance (patience), and consideration (helpfulness). It is important that the person seeking this job possesses a high level of these three tendencies. But, if they are too high, this could negatively affect their success also. All 13 character tendencies are evaluated as they work together to form the �true� person but those are the three key tendencies when matching the right person to the receptionist position.
