He is also a lecturer at the Fresenius University of Applied Sciences in Munich on topics such as the latest HR trends, modern recruiting methods and potential analyses.
With his doctorate in the field of aptitude diagnostics, he underlines his competence in these fields.

These are scientifically derived and presented in the book "Eignungsdiagnostik im Praxiseinsatz" .
General and basic information
Aptitude diagnostics is a collective term for procedures for measuring competencies and behavioural tendencies with
occupational relevance. In principle, aptitude diagnostics should enable the most accurate possible prediction of a person's likelihood of success or occupational satisfaction.
The potential and strengths analysis of HR Consult Group is a test procedure that was developed on a scientific basis in order to systematically record personality traits relevant to occupation and success and to determine their characteristics. In the
comparison with position- and occupation-specific comparison groups, statements can be made about the accuracy of fit and
probability of success of the tested persons with a high hit probability. 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 testing
Cost of miscasting Example:
Costs of personnel selection: approx. 10,000 euros
Preparation of the selection process, interviews,
assessment centre, 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
new vacancy
Loss of established customer relationships, customer erosion
regional competitive disadvantage, etc.
The more important the position, the higher the costs of a miscast!

Reasons for aptitude testing
- Fast online procedure ( approx. 30 - 45 minutes )
- AGG-compliant
- Result also readable / usable by non-experts
- Setting a standard in staff appraisal
- In-house aptitude diagnostic competence and development
- Further building blocks for assessing the suitability of a candidate
- Safeguarding the selection with regard to the soft skills of the candidate
- Early indications of possible deficits of the candidate
- Extremely cost effective
- High significance despite low investment of time and money
- Maximum objectivity, reliability, validity and normalisation
- Scientifically recognised
Key criteria
What are the essentialrequirements that candidates must fulfil in order to successfully cope with the demands of the position?
Which personality traits / soft skills determine the success or non-success of a job holder?
Concentration on a maximum of ten success-relevant, interdisciplinary requirements for the job holder
Thus, personality traits that have the lowest dispersion / range become the key criterion for the respective position- or
occupation-specific norm or best practice group.
The realisation is that the key criteria for the successful exercise of a position are self-evident and do not have to be determined in laborious coordination processes with the specialist and personnel departments.
Creation of a best practice profile
- Identify the most successful employees and define success criteria (e.g. turnover, return on investment, etc.).
Formation of a best practice group of employees and recording of relevant, measurable characteristics. - Conducting the diagnostic aptitude tests (online on the internet).
- Test result: Characteristics of successful employees → Definition of the best practice profile.
- Determining the individual profiles of applicants through aptitude diagnostic aptitude tests.
- Comparison of the ACTUAL values with the ideal profile, deviation analysis, and check against BIG POINTS.
Suitability diagnostics within the framework of personnel development
- Practical example
Personnel development of technical trainees in an international company - Human Resources Development
Screening of trainees against the Best Practice Profile (BPP) Young Engineer - Expert opinion - deviation analysis
Presentation of individual strengths and development areas - Need for development
Confident appearance, persuasiveness, self-confidence, control and assertiveness - Development areas included in the training concept - contents of the trainee programme:
Communication (persuasiveness, argumentation, etc.)
Sales (confident appearance, initiative behaviour, commitment, own initiative, etc.)
Self- and time management (setting priorities, private life, etc.)

Definition of the professional 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 latter completes a self-assessment on a wide range of personality traits as part of the test, which
is carried out according to the highest quality criteria on the topics of objectivity, reliability, validity and standardisation.

Matching soft skills
We HIRE based on skills and qualifications, and FIRE based on behaviour"
(Nathan Chanesman)
Not only technical knowledge, so-called hard facts - namely, professional experience, education, languages and industry knowledge - but above all soft skills - such as professional interests, motives, values, social behaviour - are decisive for the successful exercise of a position. How can these soft skills be made measurable and thus comparable and digitised?
Use of online-based aptitude diagnostic procedures.
The use of aptitude diagnostics provides a scientifically based method for measuring the characteristics of personality traits / social competences and thus also an objective comparability of alternative candidates in terms of soft skills.
Analogous to the comparison of report card grades or evaluations and assessments through text passages, there is now also the possibility to survey soft skills mathematically-digitally and thus also present them in a comparable way.

What distinguishes the best of a professional group?
The successful people in an occupational group are almost identical in the expression of their personality traits.
Central findings
1. the successful people of a professional group are almost identical in the characteristics of their personality traits, the soft skills. Each norm or best practice profile forms its own specific image, typical for this professional group.
The 10 key criteria of a norm or best practice profile are generated from the results of the group itself. These are the ones with the smallest spread. Here, the agreement of the expression is the highest.
From professional requirements to best practice profile
How to create a best-practice profile with the help of aptitude diagnostics.
Implementation in practice
Example evaluation
Modern online-based aptitude diagnostics mirror candidates with comparative profiles from the respective occupational group.
Individual results are related to an occupation- and position-specific comparison group and allow for
validation of strengths and potentials.
Recommendations pro and contra recruitment are thus possible.
In a 30-45 minute online assessment, candidates complete a self-assessment.
A test on its own has only limited significance; only by comparing / mirroring the results with the benchmark of the comparison group are well-founded statements about suitability and probability of success possible.
The prerequisite here is also digital capture and further processing.

Standard & Best Practice Profiles
Only in comparison with candidates from the same occupational group can a statement be made about the quality of the characteristic.
