Traditionally you have relied on a resume listing education and work experience, the interview, intuition and LUCK! Consider the following:

	A study in the Harvard Business Review showed that 90% of all hiring decisions are based on the interview while a similar Michigan State study showed that interviews are only 14% accurate!
	A recent Wall Street Journal article stated that "the resume is one of the biggest lies in the world".
	Two times as many people are fired from non-compatible jobs as from compatible ones.
	Conservative estimates say that hiring, training and getting an employee productive costs a minimum of 700 times their equivalent hourly wage. Recent articles on the subject quote costs that range up to 1.5 times the annual salary.

So how do you know who is really behind that “interview mask”?

	Is their mindset compatible with your business’ culture?
	Do they have the behavioral traits that tend to insure success?
	How do they stack up against your best people?

Candidates wear a mask by adapting to what they think you want to see. In most instances the real candidate doesn’t show themselves until weeks or months after being hired and trained. By the time you uncover the real person, and your mistake, the investment is made and your error has become very expensive.

Assessments help remove that mask!
