I used to think I was a pretty good judge of people....someone who could rely on my intuitive skills to choose the right person for a job. Years later, I began to realize my batting average was about the same as the statistics tell us: most of us are just 50% right. What's worst, I missed on a couple of crucial hires when I was scaling a company. Over the last ten years, as a Gazelles International Certified Coach, I've come to learn how an almost bullet proof process in employee selection works. To me it includes best practice interviews (we teach Topgrading) along with the PXT Select assessment. Together with reference checks (the way we do them) you've got a means to confirm (or question) that gut feeling you'll still feel. When you figure out the costs of a bad hire, it makes good business sense to get it right the first time. Let me help you adopt a proven process to get the right people on your bus.
PXT Select™ fills the gap between the resume and the interview. Its power is in comparing a candidate's thinking style, interests and behavioral traits with the known profile of people who have been successful in the specific job role.Where you have an existing team, we can use the PXT Select profile to chart the thinking style, interests, and behavioral traits of that team. Knowing those profiles allows us to modify a job profile to more closely portray what works in your organization. .The PXT Select assessment will create a coaching report for your use in working with the candidates you do hire.
We offer one-on-one and small group coaching programs, specializing in emerging leaders and executive team members. When appropriate we'll incorporate Everything DiSC's "363" to give leaders feedback from co-workers, direct reports and other leaders in the organization. (see http://www.fullsailstrategies.com/360)
We offer advisory services in conjunction with the PXT Select reports on coaching and development. The insights from this data supports your succession planning initiatives.
