Matching soft skills

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

Not only technical knowledge, known as hard skills —namely, professional experience, education, languages, and industry knowledge—but above all soft skills —such as professional interests, motivations, values, and social behavior—are crucial for successfully fulfilling a position. How can these soft skills be made measurable, 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 objective comparison of alternative candidates with regard to soft skills.

Analogous to the comparison of certificate grades or evaluations and assessments through text passages, it is now also possible to measure soft skills mathematically and digitally and thus present them in a comparable manner.

What distinguishes the best in a professional group?

The successful people in a professional group are almost identical in the expression of their personality traits.

Key findings

1. The successful individuals in a given professional group are virtually identical in their personality traits and soft skills. Each normative or best practice profile creates its own specific profile, typical for that 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 with the smallest variance. These are the ones with the highest agreement on the characteristics.

From professional requirements to best practice profile

How to create a best-practice profile using aptitude testing.

Durchführung in der Praxis
Beispielauswertung

Modern online-based aptitude diagnostics compare candidates with profiles from the respective professional group.

Individual results are compared with a job- and position-specific comparison group and enable
the validation of strengths and potential.

This makes it possible to make recommendations for and against settings.

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

A test in itself has only minimal significance; only by comparing/mirroring the results with the benchmark of the comparison group can well-founded statements about suitability and probability of success be made.

Here, too, digital recording and further processing is a prerequisite.

General and fundamental information

Aptitude diagnostics is a collective term for procedures for measuring competencies and behavioral tendencies with
Occupational relevance. Aptitude testing should, in principle, enable the most accurate prediction possible of a person's likelihood of success or professional satisfaction.
The HR Consult Group's potential and strengths analysis is a test procedure developed on scientific principles to systematically record personality traits relevant to career and success and to determine their extent.
Comparison with position- and job-specific comparison groups can provide information about the accuracy of fit and
The probability of success of the tested persons can be made with a high probability of success. The test is based on a
Self-assessment of the candidates with regard to a variety of situations from daily life and work.

Why aptitude testing

Costs of a bad hire Example:

Cost of personnel selection: approx. 10,000 euros
Preparation of the selection process, interview dates,
Assessment centers, etc.

Separation after training: approx. 15,000 euros

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

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

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

Reasons for aptitude testing
  • Fast online procedure (approx. 30 – 45 minutes)
  • AGG-compliant
  • Result readable / usable even by non-experts
  • Setting a standard in personnel assessment
  • Aptitude diagnostic competence and development in-house
  • Further building blocks for assessing the suitability of a candidate
  • Securing the selection based on the candidate’s soft skills
  • Early indications of possible deficits of the candidate
  • Extremely cost-effective
  • High informative value despite low investment of time and money
  • Maximum objectivity, reliability, validity and standardization
  • Scientifically recognized
Key criteria

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

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

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

Thus, personality traits that have the smallest dispersion / range become the key criterion for the respective position or
profession-specific standard or best practice group.

The finding is that the key criteria for successfully performing a position emerge automatically and do not have to be determined in laborious coordination processes with the specialist and human resources departments.

Creation of a best practice profile
  1. Identification of the most successful employees and definition of success criteria (e.g. sales, return, etc.).
    Formation of a best practice group of employees and recording of the relevant, measurable characteristics.
  2. Conducting diagnostic aptitude tests (online on the Internet).
  3. Test result : Characteristics of successful employees → definition of the best practice profile.
  4. Determination of the individual profiles of applicants through aptitude diagnostic aptitude tests.
  5. Comparison of the actual values with the ideal profile, deviation analysis, and testing against BIG POINTS.
Aptitude testing in the context of personnel development
  • Practical example
    Personnel development of technical trainees in an international corporation
  • Human resources development
    Screening of trainees against the Best Practice Profile (BPP) Young Engineer
  • Report – Deviation Analysis
    Presentation of individual strengths and areas for development
  • Development needs
    confident demeanor, persuasiveness, self-confidence, control and assertiveness
  • Development areas taken into account in the training concept – Contents of the trainee program:
    Communication (persuasion, argumentation, etc.)
    Sales (confident appearance, initiative, commitment, initiative, etc.)
    Self- and time management (setting priorities, private life, etc.)

Definition of technical and interdisciplinary requirements

A crucial 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 highest possible match of the "best fit" with the person, the person completes a self-assessment on various personality traits as part of the test.
is carried out according to the highest quality criteria regarding objectivity, reliability, validity and standardization.

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

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

"As an Executive Interim Manager, I have to get an overview of my team's current status within a very short period of time, within the first few days of a project. For several years now, I've been using the potential and strengths analysis. It's quick, transparent for participants, and delivers very good results. At the end of a project, I like to take the initial results, compare them, and am always amazed at how accurately the initial assessments fit the individuals. I rely on aptitude testing to assess individual coaching needs and development potential."

"The implementation and evaluation documents were very professional. In general, I think the use of appropriate diagnostics when filling positions is a very good idea."

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

 

"The aptitude assessment was worthwhile for me because it offered a good opportunity to reflect on my own abilities and characteristics. The manageable time investment provided me with a correlation with my self-assessment in many areas and highlighted weaknesses and strengths in other areas that I hadn't previously recognized. It's a great help to recognize what I can and should pay more attention to and which factors motivate me."
