Benchmarking Job Success

To begin, we need to understand what success looks like in your company. What key business metric are you looking to achieve at your organization? Our talent management solutions are driven by predictive analytics, and our predictive analytics are calibrated on the answer to this question.

The first step in any Cangrade partnership is for us to conduct a “Benchmarking” assessment that matches your success metric to the levels of a range of personality markers, motivational aspects, and soft skills in your current employees.

Once our predictive analytics calculate the keys to success in your organization, we use them to power our suite of Strategic Talent Management products.

What if your company has multiple open positions that require different kinds of soft skills? When a candidate or current employee completes our pre-employment assessment, predictive models for a variety of positions can be computed simultaneously.

Performance Management

Some positions have clear simple metrics that can be used to monitor performance and create Statistical Success Models. For others, tracking business outcomes may be more nebulous. We provide tools and scientific insights to help you understand and track performance, and incorporate Strategic Talent Management even in positions where measuring business outcomes is challenging.

Development

A job’s Statistical Success Model can also be used to help you create and implement employee development plans. By examining which specific skills drive success in a position and where your employees currently stand in each area, we identify the highest-ROI opportunities for employee development. Then, we partner with companies like CareerBuilder.com to provide simple and digestible online materials for training employees in each area.
