Matching soft skills

We HIRE based on skills and qualifications, and FIRE based on behavior"
(Nathan Chanesman)

It is not only the technical knowledge, known as hard facts - namely, professional experience, training, languages and industry knowledge - but above all soft skills - such as professional interests, motives, values and social behavior - that are decisive for the successful performance of a position. How can these soft skills be made measurable and thus comparable and digitized?

Use of online-based aptitude diagnostic procedures.

The use of aptitude diagnostics provides a scientifically sound method for measuring the characteristics of personality traits / social skills and thus also enables an objective comparison of alternative candidates in terms of soft skills.

Similar to the comparison of certificate grades or evaluations and assessments using text passages, it is now also possible to record soft skills mathematically and digitally and thus present them in a comparable way.

What distinguishes the best in a professional group?

The successful members of a professional group are almost identical in terms of their personality traits.

Key findings

1 . the successful members of a professional group are almost identical in terms of the characteristics of their personality traits, the soft skills. Each standard or best practice profile forms its own specific image that is typical for this professional group.

2 . the 10 key criteria of a standard or best practice profile are generated from the results of the group itself. These are the ones that show the least variation. This is where the level of agreement is highest.

From the professional requirements to the best practice profile

How to create a best-practice profile with the help of aptitude diagnostics.

Implementation in practice
Sample evaluation

Modern online-based suitability diagnostics mirror candidates with comparative profiles from the respective occupational group.

Individual results are compared with a comparison group specific to the occupation and position and enable
the validation of strengths and potentials.

Recommendations for and against hiring are thus possible.

In a 30-45 minute online assessment, candidates carry out a self-assessment.

A test on its own is only marginally meaningful; only by comparing / mirroring the results with the benchmark of the comparison group is it possible to make well-founded statements about suitability and probability of success.

Digital recording and further processing is also a prerequisite here.

General and basic information

Aptitude diagnostics is a collective term for procedures for measuring competencies and behavioral tendencies with
occupational relevance. In principle, aptitude diagnostics should enable the most accurate possible prediction of a person's probability of success or professional satisfaction.
The HR Consult Group potential and strengths analysis is a test procedure that was developed on a scientific basis in order to systematically record personality traits relevant to the profession and success and to determine their characteristics. In the
comparison with position- and occupation-specific peer groups, statements can be made about the accuracy of fit and
probability of success of the people tested with a high probability of accuracy. The test is based on a
self-assessment of the candidates with regard to a variety of situations from everyday life and work.

Why aptitude diagnostics

Costs of miscasting Example:

Costs of personnel selection: approx. 10,000 euros
Preparation of the selection process, interviews,
assessment center, etc.

Separation after training: approx. 15,000 euros

Separation after probationary period: approx. 35,000 euros
New vacancy, possible customer erosion

Separation after one year: approx. 100,000 euros
New vacancy
Loss of established customer relationships, customer erosion
Regional competitive disadvantage, etc.

The more important the position, the higher the cost of a wrong appointment!

Key criteria

What requirements must candidates absolutely fulfill in order to successfully meet the demands of the position?

Which personality traits / soft skills determine the success or failure of a job holder?

Focus on a maximum of ten success-relevant, interdisciplinary requirements for the job holder

This means that personality traits with the lowest variance / range become the key criterion for the respective position- or
job-specific norm or best practice group.

The realization is that the key criteria for the successful performance of a position are self-evident and do not have to be determined in laborious coordination processes with the specialist and HR departments.

Creation of a best practice profile
  1. Identification of the most successful employees and definition of success criteria (e.g. turnover, return on investment, etc.).
    Forming a best-practice group of employees and recording the relevant, measurable characteristics.
  2. Carrying out the diagnostic aptitude tests (online on the Internet).
  3. Test result: Characteristics of successful employees → Definition of the best-practice profile.
  4. Determining the individual profiles of applicants by means of aptitude diagnostic aptitude tests.
  5. Comparison of the actual values with the ideal profile, deviation analysis and check against BIG POINTS.
Suitability diagnostics in the context of personnel development
  • Practical example
    Personnel development of technical trainees in an international group
  • Personnel development
    Screening of trainees against the Best Practice Profile (BPP) Young engineer
  • Expert opinion - deviation analysis
    Presentation of individual strengths and development areas
  • Development needs
    Confident demeanor, persuasiveness, self-confidence, ability to control and assert oneself
  • Development areas considered in the training concept - contents of the trainee program:
    Communication (persuasiveness, argumentation, etc.)
    Sales (confident appearance, initiative, commitment, personal initiative, etc.)
    Self- and time management (setting priorities, private life, etc.)

Definition of technical and interdisciplinary requirements

The decisive prerequisite for a satisfactory result of the potential and strengths analysis is a detailed determination of the professional and interdisciplinary requirements for the position, such as qualifications, knowledge, soft skills, professional interests and the framework conditions for this in order to define the "best fit". As a basis for determining the best possible match between the "best fit" and the person, the person completes a self-assessment of a wide range of personality traits as part of the test.
is carried out according to the highest quality criteria in terms of objectivity, reliability, validity and standardization.

"I was impressed by the adapted Senator personality analysis tool used in the personnel selection process, as it compares the potential and strengths of the pre-selected candidate with the "best-practice profiles" of a representative peer group. This significantly increases the accuracy with which a new position is filled and also offers the candidate personal starting points for further development."

Rainer Carqueville
Management Board, CEO, Interim Manager, Advisory Board

"The collaboration with Mr. Mühlbauer and Mr. Zink takes place in an appreciative atmosphere. That's how I imagine a successful collaboration. I can only recommend Senator."

Wolfgang Pabst

"As an Executive Interim Manager, I have to get an overview of where my team stands within a very short time in the first few days of an assignment. I have been using the potential and strengths analysis for several years now. It's quick, transparent for participants and delivers very good results. At the end of a project, I like to take the results from the beginning, compare them and am always amazed at how precisely the assessments from the beginning fit the people. I rely on aptitude diagnostics to assess individual coaching needs and development potential."

"Implementation and evaluation documents very professional. Basically, I think the use of suitable diagnostics when filling vacancies is very good."

Position: Managing Director
Company sector: Consumer Goods
Number of employees: approx. 500

 

"The aptitude assessment was worthwhile for me because it offers a good opportunity to reflect on my own abilities and characteristics. The manageable time investment provided me with an agreement with my self-assessment in many areas and revealed weaknesses and strengths in other areas that I hadn't noticed myself to this extent. It is a great help to recognize what you can and should pay more attention to and which factors have a motivating effect on you."
