A variety of services are available to assess individual candidates and their probable fit with the position and organization. This minimizes the possibility of a costly near miss and its effect on morale and overall performance at your company. A comprehensive set of approaches is available for companies wishing to fine-tune their selection process.

The selection of senior management personnel is of critical importance. Many applicants may appear to have the requisite experience and training for the position. Your corporation might spend hours wading through resumes and applicants, then conduct numerous interviews, to arrive at a short list of a few choice candidates. The successful candidate must have a clear understanding of your organization goals as well as specific traits to thrive there and enhance the corporate vision. A “good fit” between the candidate’s skills, working style, the demands of the position, and the predominant culture of your organization is needed. How you handle that short list of candidates is critical. Many corporations are fairly competent at assessing the candidate’s skills and the demands of the position. Where costly errors occur is in the attempt to assess the quality of fit between the candidate’s working style and the organizational culture. This is usually done by guessing or deciding if the candidate is personable. Consider the cost and effort of recruiting, selecting and hiring and training a qualified candidate; then consider the cost of a near-miss because unseen personality traits went undiscovered. Scholl Associates takes the guesswork out of the hiring and promotion process and ensures that the successful candidate represents the best fit with that position and with your organization.
