Predicting Success (PDF)

Make the right hires every time, with an analytical approach to
talent

Predicting Success is a practical guide to finding the
perfect member for your team. By applying the principles and tools
of human analytics to the workplace, you'll avoid bad culture fits,
mismatched skillsets, entitled workers, and other hiring missteps
that drain the team of productivity and morale. This book provides
guidance toward implementing tools like the Predictive Index®,
behavior analytics, hiring assessments, and other practical
resources to build your best team and achieve the best outcomes.
Written by a human analytics specialist who applies these
principles daily, this book is the manager's guide to aligning
people with business strategy to find the exact person your team is
missing.

An avalanche of research describes an evolving business
landscape that will soon be populated by workers in jobs that don't
fit. This is bad news for both the workers and the companies, as
bad hires affect outcomes on the individual and organizational
level, and can potentially hinder progress long after the situation
has been rectified. Predicting Success is a guide to
avoiding that by integrating analytical tools into the hiring
process from the start.

* Hire without the worry of mismatched expectations

* Apply practical analytics tools to the hiring process

* Build the right team and avoid disconnected or dissatisfied
workers

* Stop seeing candidates as "chances," and start seeing them as
opportunities

Analytics has proved to be integral in the finance, tech,
marketing, and banking industries, but when applied to talent
acquisition, it can build the team that takes the company to the
next level. If the future will be full of unhappy workers in
underperforming companies, getting out from under that weight ahead
of time would confer a major advantage. Predicting Success
provides evidence-based strategies that help you find precisely the
talent you need.
