As part of our recruitment assessment for high-stake senior hires, we conduct\u00a0Candidate Insights<\/a> to help reduce uncertainty in the recruitment process. \u00a0This helps identify aspects of the individual\u2019s personality and approach at work that may need to be explored thoroughly in order to understand the candidate better and mitigate certain kinds of recruitment risk.<\/p>\n This ensures you can hire with confidence, knowing new senior positions will be filled by the right people.<\/p>\n The insights revealed from such assessments give recruiters a vivid illustration of the traits, attitudes and behaviours most likely to help or hinder the candidate in performing in their role. The resulting report identifies probable strengths and potential risks\/ limitations and includes behavioural questions that can be used at final interview to explore the candidate\u2019s suitability and development needs further.<\/p>\n Personality questionnaires are a fantastic way to shed light on key candidate traits. Along with the NEO – PIR, we also use the Hogan Assessment.<\/p>\n But what exactly is the Hogan Assessment Suite and why use it when assessing senior level candidates?<\/p>\n We thought we\u2019d create this mini guide to provide you with an introduction to these personality assessments.<\/p>\n Hogan are considered the world-renowned authority in personality assessments. Their science-backed assessments offer reliable and robust insight into personality. Such insights can be utilised to inform recruitment decisions, and also the development of existing employees alike.<\/p>\n The Hogan assessments holistically assess individuals\u2019 personality and identify strengths and weaknesses, underlying values and motivators, and even career \u201cderailers\u201d and the proclaimed \u201cdark side\u201d of personality. This illustrates the comprehensive nature of Hogan Assessments and the value they can bring to organisations looking to better understand both existing and potential employees..<\/p>\n Hogan Assessments help predict how individuals are likely to behave in a professional setting, and why they will do it. This 3-pronged approach means Hogan assessments can ensure organisations extract key insights when engaging in employee recruitment and development . The results gleaned from these assessments help individuals to understand their own behaviour traits, motivators and potential derailers better, as well as helping organisations optimise the fit between new candidates, their roles and the organisational culture.<\/p>\n The Hogan assessments we offer include: HPI, HDS and MVPI.<\/p>\n The HPI measures individuals\u2019 normal, or \u2018bright side\u2019 personality, providing a macro view of how they may work with others or behave in different situations. This helps understand the role an individual is likely to play in a team, or predict what type of leader or team member a candidate is likely to be.<\/p>\n The HDS measures individuals\u2019 potential derailers, or \u2018dark side\u2019 personality, . It assesses how individuals are likely to behave in times of difficulty, or when under pressure. This is often overlooked, but as every business will go through periods of challenge, this is an incredibly powerful assessment to understand individuals\u2019 true potential.<\/p>\n The MVPI identifies individuals\u2019 underlying motives, values and preferences that drive individuals\u2019 goals, expectations and behaviours. This helps explain the \u201cwhy\u201d behind a candidate\u2019s behaviour, providing opportunities to align individuals with the roles and environments where they are most likely to thrive.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re looking to get the most out of<\/p>\nWhat is the Hogan assessment?<\/h2>\n
