Will Be Talent.*
Even with a flooded job market, true talent is in short supply.
Are you positioned to find and keep the best of the best?
Not only will companies have to devise more effective hiring practices; they will also have to work harder to keep their best people because The Best always have options. Are you prepared?
Without an effective process for finding, hiring and keeping top talent, your company will not survive in the New Economy.
Everything in business is measured except quality of new hires. HR frequently measures hiring costs and time to fill jobs…yet they hire the wrong people 75% of the time, but they do it inexpensively and quickly! What’s wrong with that picture?”

DO THESE HIRING CHALLENGES SOUND SCARILY FAMILIAR?
- The resumes of candidates are full of hype (research shows 70% contain a major falsehood)
- Interviews are not revealing or reassuring enough
- Reference checks are time consuming, not likely to reveal useful information and therefore avoided by most hiring and HR Managers
- Recruiters don’t utilize pre-employment assessments on candidates and rely on their limited understanding of the job
- The person hired does not meet expectations
This results in turnover or even worse – stayover. “Stayover” is when the wrong person is hired and despite mediocre performance, is allowed to stay in the position.
While most companies can calculate the cost of turnover (.xls file), they can’t even begin to calculate the cost of stayover because it includes the intangible impact on performance, morale, and team dynamics.
HOW CAN THE DISC WIZARD HELP?
My name is Nancy Roberts, The DISC Wizard, and I use my insight as a Certified Behavioral Analyst to make sure you are hiring and keeping Top Talent.
This goes WAY beyond just using the DISC behavioral assessment to hire the right person – although that’s certainly a part of it.
THE MAGIC IS IN A COMPREHENSIVE,
RECRUITING TO RETENTION,
TALENT DISCOVERY PROCESS.
We have been enjoying the DISC Wizard's consultation for a long time and have had very accurate results. One in particular - the analysis showed that this one candidate had the potential to become very frustrated and would ultimately voluntarily terminate employment. We thought we could manage through the situation, however, we could not and the employee quit due to the stress around the job. David J. Cecere, CPCU

I hear from many companies that recruiters are unwilling to take the time to assess
job candidates. Let me ask you this: if your recruiters are in that much of a hurry to place a candidate in a position, what does that say about the quality of your new hire?
I'd like to share how one of your profiles was proved to be more effective than a headhunter who sent a General Manager to a client touting a “perfect fit.” My company was called in to evaluate the operation several months after the hiring of the GM. The GM's shortcomings were quickly realized and a profile was completed to substantiate the misfit. The GM was reassigned and the headhunter refunded the $7,000 fee based on the strength of the profile. The headhunter was so impressed by the system that he inquired about using it in his service.

On the flip side, other companies have utilized assessments in the hiring process in the past. They report that while the information was accurate and informative, “we did nothing with it after hire.”
I’ve listened to my clients over the years and I’ve learned from their frustrations in the selection and retention of talent. And I’ve created the most comprehensive solution to date. With the ability to predict performance, uncover what people are motivated by and what they are able to do – it’s no wonder my clients think I have a crystal ball!
The solution is made up of three separate systems that work magically together…
