Affordable yet sophisticated hiring tools now available to small and medium-sized businesses from The Growth Solutions Group

Small and medium-sized businesses can now get sophisticated HR support and hiring tools at reasonable cost. Pre-employment testing tools help match candidates with job requirements. Interview questions and selection coaching are included.

Princeton, NJ (PRWEB) December 21, 2003 --The Growth Solutions Group has introduced a new product -- Predictive Hiring 4.1 -- designed to provide sophisticated hiring tools to small and medium-sized businesses at a reasonable cost. Growth Solutions, a human resources consulting firm, specializes in helping employers put objectivity into their employee selection and retention processes to save time, reduce hiring error and improve productivity.

Predictive Hiring 4.1TM is a packaged program that provides one-on-one coaching for hiring managers. It can be particularly helpful to smaller firms who do not have professional human resources organizations to guide them through the hiring process. Using objective state-of-the-art tools previously only available to the largest companies, Predictive Hiring 4.1 helps clients organize objectively around what is needed to get the job done right and highlights each candidates strengths and weaknesses.

Most hiring decisions are made in the first few minutes of the interview and are based on 'gut reaction to the candidate," says Susan Gauff, Growth Solutions CEO. The most successful employees are those whose innate talents match the needs of the job and the culture of the organization.    Replacing a mis-matched employee can cost 150% to 250% of their salary not to mention lost-opportunity and retraining costs. Return on investment in 4.1 can be upwards of 10 times its cost if just one bad hire is avoided."

Predictive Hiring 4.1 includes:

   Simplified job description templates
   A computer-based job profile against which to compare candidates
   Assessment instruments and reports for three candidates
   Interview questions based on each candidates match with the profile
   Two hours of telephone coaching with an experienced HR professional to help clients
   -- Source candidates
   -- Interpret test results
   -- Talk through the pros and cons of each candidate after the interview.

Total cost for the package is $1500 including a guarantee which provides for repeating the process at no cost should the selected employee leave the business for any reason during their first year.

With todays higher unemployment rates, its common for a company to get 100 or more resumes for a single position. Many candidates have been coached by outplacement firms in resume writing and interviewing skills making it harder than ever to determine if the person can really do the job," says Ms. Gauff. Predictive Hiring 4.1 will save significant time in the interviewing process while resulting in a better employee."
