You Want Me to Take a TEST?!? The Role of Personality Assessments in Hiring

013 - You Want Me to Take a TEST?!?  The Role of Personality  Assessments in Hiring

Have you ever been asked to take a personality test or behavioral assessment when you applied for a job?  If not, chances are you will at some point in your career - and it’s a step in the hiring process that causes many candidates to really panic!  While these "tests" can be intimidating, they’re actually there to support everyone involved (including you), and to help ensure that the best match is ultimately made.  But how do they work?  What is the best way to navigate them as a candidate?  And why should companies consider using them if they don't already?

Today we welcome back repeat guest of the show, Kristi Dean.  A former executive team member at Ducci & Associates, Kristi is now the Founder & CEO of KLDean & Associates, a recruiting and talent advisory firm.  Kristi is more than a recruiter; she helps CEO’s, hiring managers, and team leaders make better hires and design high-performing, highly-engaged teams.  One of the tools that she uses regularly in her work is the Predictive Index, a popular and well-respected behavioral assessment.  Tune in to learn about PI, the value of personality and behavioral assessments (for both candidates and companies), and how best to approach them the next time you are asked to take one.
