Hiring The Wrong Person Can Cost You Up To Five Times The Annual Salary!

Feb. 2, 2012 - PRLog -- Filtering out the best person for a vacant position is difficult. Most applicants are well prepared and/or trained to showcase themselves in the best possible way. The better the applicant is trained, the harder it gets for the HR practitioner to trust his 'gut feeling'. Carrera C Inc.[ recognizes this and has made a tool available that can help to select the best person for the vacant position: Online Assessments.

Carrera C Inc. uses these assessments already for quite some time now as a part of their gap-analysis in preparation for a training program with tremendous results. Now these assessments are available for everyone who needs objective information about the applicant(s).

According to the experts, hiring the wrong person and having to replace him, can cost an organization somewhere between one and five times his annual salary and benefits.

Some important questions are:

- How can you be sure that an applicant meets the criteria?
- How do you select the right people and which applicant should you hire?
- What criteria do you communicate to achieve set targets?
- How do you select a successor for an important position?

With the help of several available online assessments one will find the right answers to these questions and more. The assessments are an important tool in the development of the talents of staff and employees.

All Online Assessments are tailor-made and based on the Big Five Personality Traits.
The Big Five model is a comprehensive, empirical, data-driven research finding. Identifying the traits and structure of human personality has been one of the most fundamental goals in all of psychology.

What are the advantages of Online Assessments?

- Accurate. Developed by experts and bench-marked over and over again, the assessments have proven to have an accuracy of .9 and more.
- Fast. Unlike live assessments where schedules of the applicant(s) and psychologist are involved and where the client has to wait for a report, online assessments can be filled out at any given time and the report is generated immediately.
- Tailor-made. Criteria and competencies can be formulated and selected upfront.
- Small investment. Live assessments can be expensive and for that reason most smaller companies go without them. Online Assessments are very affordable and the return on investment is huge.
