Enhance hiring with candidate assessment strategies

Effectively identify who among your applicants has the greatest potential for success.

Let's get started

Assessing for great talent within your candidate pool

When assessing talent for selection, most organizations are asking themselves three key questions:

Does the candidate have the right attributes to do the job well?
Does the candidate have the motivation to want to do the job?
Will the candidate be a good match for the team and organization?

Implementing selection solutions into your hiring process can help to answer these questions and lead to a quicker and better hire. Talogy solutions give you the in-depth data you need to objectively assess the competencies and attributes required for success in a role, without impeding speed to hire. Not only do we have a broad range of selection solutions ready to configure for your specific situation and talent needs, we have the expertise to understand exactly how to use each tool in a way that supports your desired business objectives.

Our top 5 tips for identifying great talent during selection

Be clear about what you need to measure

The first step is always to build a clear picture of what great performance looks like in the role, both now and in future. What are the competencies or attributes a candidate needs to thrive in the role? Decide what you need to measure before designing the selection process and choosing particular assessments.

Design the right solution for you

The right solution is different in every organization. Make sure your solution measures the attributes that define success and matches your process needs. You can’t take an assessment designed for a different company and expect it to work the same for you. Your solution should be the right length, use the right item types, and measure only what matters.

Hire for potential

In many cases, a candidate’s potential is what determines success on the job. Employers often emphasize past experience or specific knowledge when making hiring decisions. This can lead to a lack of diversity, lack of candidates, and generally dissatisfying prediction. Instead, measure what matters — make decisions based on a candidate’s potential to contribute to the organization.

Evaluate and enhance

There is no set-it-and-forget-it solution. Your talent selection process should be evolving along with your organizational goals. We can help you evaluate what’s working, improve what isn’t, and continually enhance your hiring program to ensure it captures exactly what you need.

Treat candidates like customers

Lead with a human-centered approach when it comes to any process that involves talent. Your selection program is a direct reflection of your organization, and even the candidates you don’t hire may still become customers. Build your hiring process in a way that gives candidates an engaging and fair experience, where they are able to demonstrate their capability and potential.

How Talogy can help you identify great talent to hire

Discover potential

Cognitive ability is one of the most reliable predictors of success in the workplace. Talogy’s cognitive ability assessments (like Mindgage or Logiks) can help you understand which of your candidates has the potential to analyze data, understand complex problems, and learn quickly.
Access the power of personality

Talogy’s personality assessments (like Caliper or P.A.P.I.) can give you deeper insight into what drives your candidates and who is likely to thrive in a role. Use these assessments to understand a candidate’s preferred work style and behavioral tendencies to find out if they’d be a good fit for the role and your organization.
Customize with solutions

The Talogy assessment solutions give you the flexibility to add screening, selection, and development tools into one complete talent management system. It’s more than a single product. It’s more than industry expertise. It’s an integrated way of doing things.
Combine multiple methods of measurement

Don’t rely on just a single approach to measuring candidate attributes. If something is important for the job, measure it multiple times and in multiple ways. Talogy’s solutions allow you to configure a valid solution that emphasizes the most important attributes by measuring them in multiple ways within the same assessment.
