Prevue Assessment

Prevue Assessment helps you hire top performers for Sales and Management positions. It is also used for coaching, team development, and succession planning. The Prevue Assessment is one of the most powerful and precise methods for measuring and matching work-related characteristics of candidates.

Companies who use Prevue Assessment experience:

  • An increase in their hiring success rate
  • A reduction in overall turnover
  • An increase in employee performance and productivity

Hiring

The process of intelligently choosing staff is one of the most difficult tasks a company faces. Prevue Hiring reports are designed to help answer the following questions:

Do you have a profile of what the ideal candidate looks like?   The Prevue Job Description Survey creates a profile of the ideal candidate.

Have you identified the differential qualities between high performers and low performers in the position?  A Prevue pilot study of high performers and low performers will show what qualities the high performers have in common that low performers do not have.

Do you spend too much of your time trying to salvage bad hires?  Hire smart or manage tough!

Do you have a method for predicting turnover in your position?  What qualities do the employees who quit or are terminated have in common?

Can the person do the Job? Scores below the Cognitive Ability Benchmarks indicate they likely can’t do the job. Scores above the Cognitive Ability Benchmarks indicate they may not be challenged enough in the job. Both frequently lead to Turnover.

How well will they do the Job? Scores outside the Personality Benchmarks indicate that their personality is not a good fit for the job, and the further outside the benchmarks their scores are, the less likely they will perform well in the job. Job Suitability of 85% or higher indicates a high probability (i.e. prediction) that they will be a high performer. Given a choice between candidates, we usually hire the candidates with the higher or highest Job Suitability Scores, within the context of all information gathered on the candidates.

Will they do the job? Scores outside the Motivation/Interest Benchmarks indicate whether they like to Work with People, Work with Data, or Work with Things (e.g. machines). People who have to perform work that is not aligned with their interests and motivations often become dissatisfied or dis-engaged, which also leads to turnover – assuming they can find work that better matches their interests and motivations.

Can you interview the candidate’s Challenge Areas? The Selection reports contain behavioral interview questions focused on those areas where the Candidate does not fit the established benchmarks. A combination of the standardized assessments and these structured interview questions helps us avoid hiring mistakes and helps guide us to select the candidate with the highest probability (i.e. Prediction) of success.

Can you identify potential de-railers? The Working Characteristics Reports answer the following questions about the candidate: How do they prefer to be paid? How important is work to them? Do they make risky decisions? How do they deal with change? What is their perception of the world?

Coaching

The Prevue Assessment measures 24 different characteristics of your employees. The Prevue Coaching reports use this information to build strategies for leveraging employees’ strengths and compensating for their weaknesses. Many employees find themselves making little progress in their position, leading to dissatisfaction in the workplace. Prevue Coaching reports help you understand how your employees engage with their work. The Approach to Work scales are derived from the personality scales. The Corporate Coach Report provides a better understanding of your employee’s approach to several significant work situations or requirements that are expected in their position. Corporate Coach is a user guide or quick reference guide to working well with this person.

Using the Personal Development Report One of the challenges management faces in coaching and training individuals is the process of correctly identifying developmental needs. The Personal Development Report provides specific coaching and training information by matching the candidate’s assessment results to the position’s benchmark. For each particular competency in the benchmark the manager is provided with a starting point that identifies the appropriate skills or competencies required for the specified position.

Using Prevue Results in Coaching Sales Performance  Using Prevue's High Sales Performer Model, you can quickly identify the talent gaps.  Early coaching focused on these talent gaps can make the difference between a successful hire and a turnover.

 

Succession Planning & Promotion

A proactive succession planning program is a virtual necessity for a company to remain competitive, given today’s changing workforce demographics. Succession planning is not only identifying the future leaders of a company but also planning for potential vacancies throughout the organization. Prevue Succession Planning and Promotion Solutions accomplish both of these functions, providing you with the answers you need to plan for the future.

Team Development

The Prevue Team Development Report is designed to help team members improve their understanding of the individual differences existing within the team. Each member brings different talents, motivations, work styles, strengths and weaknesses into the team dynamics. This is why a team performs better than an individual. The team’s performance can be improved to the extent that each member understands the other member’s differences.

The goal of the Prevue Team Development report is to bring more clarity about each member’s: Problem-solving ability, learning speed, Passions for people, data or things, Reactions to stress, pressure, and coping style, and Work StyleWork style 1 is flexible or rigid, traditional or non-traditional, creative or plan ahead. Work style 2 is introversion - working alone or extraversion - working in groups.
