Initially, The Hire Talent assisted the company in creating and deciding upon which metrics were needed for the company to rate their employee’s performance. When this was done, the company produced performance ratings on each of their employees from their direct supervisors. Upon receiving this information, The Hire Talent conducted an analysis to determine which of the performance metrics stood out as being the most important to the company.
Once the company was able to administer the assessment to their employees, The Hire Talent began identifying which traits on the assessment were most predictive of an employee’s performance. This was done by considering the performance metrics that were earlier identified as being the most important to the company, separating out which employee’s met a certain benchmark on each metric and which did not, and then comparing those employees’ assessment trait scores. In doing this. The Hire Talent was able to identify which traits were able to significantly separate employees from one group or another, relative to the performance metric in consideration.
