Hiring by the gut process can have its shortcomings. If hiring the right people is the initial critical step, then what must you do to better your chances of hiring the right person?

Most companies hire candidates based upon their resume and the interview. The result for many companies is high turnover. The costs associated with hiring the wrong individual are well documented, and create unnecessary disruptions in the plans of a company. Hiring key people for your company is a process that should not be taken lightly or haphazardly. 

The Woodruff Group has a hiring process that uses computer based assessment tools to determine if the candidate is the proper fit for the job. Every job has defined soft skill characteristics that need to be understood to better match the candidate to the job. If there is a mismatch the net result is lower productivity, poor attitude, and turnover. By matching the characteristics the job demands to be done successfully with the characteristics the candidate brings to the job, the company has a greater probability of success. When a candidate enjoys the challenges presented by the job they perform at a higher level, and there is a lower turnover rate.

The assessment tools are just one piece of the overall selection process that The Woodruff Group has used to assist companies in staffing and selecting key personal.
