What Are the Costs of Having the Wrong Person in a Key Job?

The right people in the right jobs is what drives your business success. You know that. Realistically, however, every key role or job has a number of complex needs that might be difficult to pinpoint. Job Needs include:

• Key accountabilities that require certain hard skills.
• Motivation that fits the culture and rewards of the role.
• Behaviors that match the work environment.
• Personal skills that will make or break the job's success.

How in the world do you find the best match for all these complex needs, especially the personal skill needs that are so critical to the role's success? And how do you even determine what all these needs are for a particular job?

A Breakthrough Solution!

Romano & Sanfilippo and our partners have combined the best tools, practices and processes in the industry to provide a simple talent selection and development system that dramatically enhances your ability to place the right person in the right job and then continue to develop them in that role or toward other roles.

Our breakthrough in employee selection is our ability to directly measure all of the above four areas for a candidate in forty five minutes or less .

The measurement of Personal Skills/Competencies has been the problem. Until now, we haven't been able to do it! We might find someone who had the perfect behavior for a job and they were motivated beautifully by the rewards of the job, yet we could not accurately predict their success in the job. Why? Because we could not answer the question, "WHAT can they do?" (based on having the right personal skills /competencies).

Of course, we could do 360 degree assessments if the candidate happened to be already inside our organization, but we have all experienced the challenges and costs of 360's. And we could certainly do behavioral interviewing, but the effectiveness is too dependent upon the interviewer. Furthermore, some people are good in interviews and some are not.

The breakthrough is our ability to now measure Personal Skills directly!   And we can do so with accuracy, validity and reliability. Talent Plus(TM) Report is an index that measures degree of capability, or strength, in many different Personal Skills. In the instrument we call these personal skills "Attributes." Because it is an index, it is called the "Attribute Index." The instrument has four major advantages:

• All the input is provided by the candidate.
• It takes only thirty to forty minutes to complete.
• It is impossible to deceive the instrument.
• It can be completed online.

We are able to accomplish all this in the Romano & Sanfilippo Define and Align® employee selection process.
