In this world of accelerated change, knowledge is everything. Yet assessing skills (the things required to do the job well) and behaviours (how the person will act when actually on the job) are equally important for hiring, onboarding, training and promotion. Drake links modern technologies with the human touch, in order to attract and assess top performers to suit your company and the job at hand.

Behavioural Assessments

"Did you know that 87% of people who leave their organisation or their team do so because of Personality Conflicts and NOT Capability?" (Dr. Kurt Einstein)

Behavioural assessment solutions can help remove the subjectivity in the selection process, and identify the traits best suited to your corporate culture, and to the specific position.

What Behavioural Assessment Technology makes this Possible?

Drake's P3, installed in over 2,000 sites worldwide, is an advanced behavioural and personality profiling solution that identifies the performance characteristics of successful employees.

Drake's Picasso clarifies personality profiles and individual capabilities. It is a powerful psychometric assessment tool used to determine leadership and operating styles, reasoning skills, conflict handling styles, personality traits, the role one plays within a team, occupational preferences, and behavioural competencies.

What is the End Result?

You get:

• Assistance in eliminating the guesswork out of attracting and selecting the right people for your position.
• Accurate assessment of an individual's skills, knowledge and behaviours.
• Help integrating testing into your HR processes.

How is it Done?

Drake has a library of existing tests that organisations can simply choose from if needed. If customised testing is needed, a Drake Consultant can help tailor an assessment solution to suit your unique needs. All assessments are web-based, so no special hardware or IT skills are required.

What is the Payoff?

The immediate payoff comes from preventing bad hires. Sometimes candidates sound good in an interview but don't actually have the needed skills or behavioural styles. Drake's assessment solutions ensure candidates really do have the skills and behaviours you need, and at the levels desired. Further savings come from ensuring training funds are not wasted teaching skills at too low or too high a level.
