Price Associates Launches State-of-the-Art Services to Improve
Employee Recruitment and Retention
NAMPA, Idaho (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) June 1, 2007 --
Hiring the right person can feel like throwing darts blindfolded.
Research conducted by Michigan State University showed most companies
are only 14% effective in making successful
job hires using the typical interview process. One “innovative”
approach to hiring is taking the guesswork out of making successful
hiring decisions.
Idaho-based Price Associates
partnered with Solutions 4 Hiring, a leading national search firm using
this process, with encouraging results. “This
process is revolutionizing the way we help employers find superior
performers,” explains Lynn McConnell,
VP of Human Resources Consulting for Price Associates. “We
let the job speak for itself through a scientifically
validated assessment process. Being able to quantify soft skills
such as a candidate’s behavioral style, what
motivates them and how they make decisions, and compare that to the
needs of the position and company culture adds a dimension to the hiring
process that is bringing consistent success.”
The process focuses on a 37-point analysis of key soft skills to create
a 360-degree profile of the job itself. Prospective candidates go
through an “assessment”
which matches them to the job profile. This, coupled with the resume,
screening and interview seems to be providing the added dimension needed
for effective hiring.
Ron Price, President/CEO of Price Associates states, “It’s
all about a good job/candidate fit. Our clients’
percentage of rapid, successful hires has increased significantly since
we adopted this combined scientific and traditional approach.”
As the talent pool diminishes, and finding qualified candidates becomes
increasingly difficult, watch for more employers to adopt this
scientific approach to hiring.
