The Problem: Broken Hiring Process

The hiring process is broken. In most organizations the process is time consuming, costly and doesn’t predict job performance. The problem is made more difficult by the:

  • Increasing volume of resumes; the recession has triggered a flood of resumes.
  • Decreasing pool of qualified candidates; the complexity of knowledge jobs has resulted in fewer applicants with the capacity for success.
  • Inaccuracy of resumes; resumes only record what a person has been allowed to do.
  • Ineffective interviews; subjective interviews incorrectly reduce the candidate pool through "like me" bias.
  • Fear of hiring the wrong candidate; fear often leads to the elimination of qualified candidates.
The Solution: High Impact Players

Adage Solutions provides an objective yardstick that can determine whether a candidate "has the right stuff" for the complex, knowledge-based environment. Using an online assessment – the HIP Assessment - qualified candidates can be quickly and economically identified based on job requirements.

The yardstick objectively measures a candidates' :

  • Ability to do a specific job (BOQ)
  • Desire to do the job
  • Likelihood of staying on the job

Using an improved competency-based hiring process; an organization can objectively predict job performance, thus finding the right candidates and realizing competitive advantage.
