How successful is your hiring & interviewing success? Studies show interviews can be as low as 4-14% accurate in obtaining pertinent and honest feedback from a candidate. The most reliable method for interviewing is a multi-step approach to hire.    Part of that process is a behavioral assessment. The Birkman method is 87% reliable in measuring a person’s behavioral pattern, including 77 factors about them. It is an elite tool that identifies how a candidate operates and what they need in order to be successful.    While other tools provide great information about how a person acts every day, the Birkman specializes in also providing what they NEED in order to be successful. This allows the organization to partner with the person to bring their best. It also allows you to understand if the person is the best fit for the company.    Our clients say “Don’t Hire without the Birkman!” It's a small investment to prevent a costly mistake and ensures success for the right fit candidates. Click here to learn more.
