How Harrison Assessments Aligns with Jim Collins' Insights

Defining what Your Job Needs: This most important component of an effective hiring process is preparation. Thinking deeply about exactly what you need to get done and the types of behaviors a successful person would need to meet and exceed those expectations. This preparation around role clarity and measures of success is essential to getting the right people.

Identifying the Right People: Unlike traditional hiring processes that focus primarily on skills and experience, Harrison Assessments delves deeper into the intrinsic behavioral tendencies and work preferences of candidates. It measures individuals against research derived, customizable, job-specific behaviors that predict success in your organization. This ensures that the individuals you hire are not only capable but also genuinely aligned with the role and company culture.

Enhancing Employee Experience: Always keep in mind that the best people have multiple options. By understanding the personal values and expectations of each candidate, you can create an improved candidate experience. By better tailoring your discussions and company offerings to match what top talent seeks in an employer, significantly enhancing your attractiveness as a workplace.

Strategic Employee Retention: By matching job fit and aligning candidates' expectations with what your company offers, Harrison Assessments reduces the likelihood of expensive mismatches and early turnover. This strategic fit ensures that your hires are more satisfied and more likely to grow within the company, thus contributing to a great employee experience and long-term organizational success. This strategic approach to effective hiring processes can be seen in Bridgestone's integration with Harrison Assessments.
