Here’s the truth. Most interviewers are part time amateurs.

Understandable as you have your day job. You interview from time to time but most of your working life is occupied doing your day job.

But making a bad hiring decision is a very painful experience, so this week I am offering free advice.

Simply email me with your questions about how to make better hiring decisions and I will answer it.

Remember I do not sell consultancy. I am not an agency. I only provide online personality profiling for recruitment.

But the fact is you need help. I know stuff you need to know if you are to make better hiring decisions.

The offer is open to all existing account holders. Take full advantage while it lasts.

There is only one reason you should use personality profiling during your selection process and that’s to avoid disastrous hiring decisions.

If you can make just one less hiring mistake. If you hire just one person that works out and stays with you instead of leaving after two months, then it’s all been worthwhile.

The alternative is quite frightening. Unless you have some spider sense then you are very much at a disadvantage without using a personality report.

So avert disaster. Use personality reports.

Reports are made up from 5 topics. You pick the topics from our topic library which has dozens of topics.

Each topic is written in plain English, so there is no need to “interpret” anything. We believe in just saying it like it is.

So, you don’t need to be a psychologist.

You can simply print off a candidate’s report, walk into the interview room and deliver a meaningful interview.

The report will tell you what to ask.

It will tell you what to look for in the answers.

It will help you get to know your candidate fast, really fast.

There is nothing more powerful than the combination of the personality report and a face to face interview.

How can we provide professional personality reports so cheaply?

1. No consultants
2. No sales people
3. No company cars
4. No commission
5. No non executive director’s salary
6. No printing
7. No training rooms

Instead we have invested all of our time and money into creating the webs best psychometric testing system for recruitment.

• We have invested in technology
• We have invested in psychology topics library

And that’s how you get cheap personality reports.

Do you know what your ideal candidate looks like?

Imagine how much easier your recruitment process would be if you could tell at a glance if the candidate was a serious contender or not.

Well that’s where personality benchmarking comes in.

Complete the benchmark questionnaire about the job role and we will provide you with a personality report of your ideal candidate.

You then just need to compare new applicants with your benchmark and start interviewing the ones that most closely match it.

This type of candidate screening helps you prioritise your applicants and saves you a lot of time.

This will reduce your risk and the time you have to spend interviewing by about 400%.

So why do companies spend so much money on psychometric testing?

Well it helps them make better hiring decisions. And better hiring decisions mean less costly mistakes.

What is the cost of making a bad recruitment decision? £5k, £10k, £20?

I spoke to a friend of mine a while back who hired a sales person. He figured that in six months the guy almost put him out of business.

He not only didn’t deliver new sales, he lost him customers.

It took three months before my friend realised there was a serious problem then another three months to get rid of the guy. It will take years to repair the damage.

This is why psychometric testing is used. If it manages to eliminate even one bad hiring decision, then it has paid for itself many times over.
