Hiring the Best - Professional/Managerial

Personality/Behavioral

Does your organization face any of these problems...

• Poor management-employee communication?
• Poor leadership abilities?
• Low team morale?
• Not meeting sales targets?
• Staff not living up to their potential?

Our foremost solution for professional/managerial hiring, the Global Work Styles Inventory (GWSI), is a tool that will enable you to create a staff that has the most success potential and that is compatible with your company culture.

Used for the selection and development of professional/managerial occupations, the GWSI:

• is supported by the Devine competency library
• is integrated with JRS and the IQ library
• uses criterion validation
• is useful for selection and development associated with the team and company culture

Another option for improving your professional/managerial hiring process is the Devine Group’s CoreCheck™. This competency-based report helps you decide which candidate will most successfully fill a job opening by providing an overview of each person’s work behaviors and competencies. Knowing that a person has the right education and experience is simply not enough. With CoreCheck™, you can find answers to such questions as: Is the person outgoing or quiet? Thick-skinned or highly emotional? A non-verbal communicator or very talkative?

Armed with this information, you can accurately assess whether the candidate’s behavioral traits match your company’s job requirements. Based on your particular needs, this report instantly recommends

1. a candidate for hire,
2. a candidate for hire provided certain conditions are met, or
3. a candidate not be hired.

Skills-Critical Thinking Inventory (CTI)

Are you looking for applicants with specific skills in a given area? Measuring cognitive ability, our Critical Thinking Inventory will provide you with objective, measurable data regarding each person’s current skill level and ability.

Interview Guides

Professionally developed structured interview guides are a useful addition to any interview situation. Used in conjunction with our assessments, these guides can steer you in the right direction when probing applicants for more robust answers and past experiences.

The Devine team’s interview guides will take the interviewer through a series of questions that are aligned with the concepts of a standard behavioral interview. In addition, based on your company’s Job Analysis, The Devine Group will generate an answer guide that provides responses that best correlate to the job.

Structured Behavioral Interview Training

Historically, the employment interview has shown a poor track record for predicting employee job performance. However, recent research shows that, when done correctly (i.e., structured behavioral interviewing), the interview can be a valid predictor of job success. Our interview training session will teach you and your hiring managers how to make a sound investment in your company’s future—by making it a priority to select carefully and appropriately your most important asset: your people.

Devine provides a wide range of training opportunities related to structured behavioral interviewing. Sessions range from a half-day to two days in length and include both standard and customized content.
