Vital Hiring Insights™

What does it cost you to hire someone? Many companies estimate the hard costs at up to 30 percent of salary for non-management positions (and up to 50 percent for management positions).

Add in the soft costs—a vacant position, a manager‘s time spent hiring, training, productivity loss through the learning curve—and the overall expense can zoom to two or three times the annual salary.

And that‘s for a good hire. The costs of a bad hire—extra training, management intervention, low morale among coworkers, lost revenue, even legal fees—can skyrocket in short order.

It pays to get it right the first time.

How Vital Hiring Insights works

Vital Hiring Insights (VHI) turns hiring assumptions upside down with a shift away from “Are they qualified to produce results?” to an emphasis on “Will they be motivated to produce results?” VHI employs six components to identify the right candidates:

1. Customization & Benchmarking – identifies motivators, behaviors and competencies of your top performers to create benchmarks and interview questions
2. Pre-Screen – determines a match on the “essentials” – education, skills, experience, salary, etc.
3. Competency-Based Interview Questions – customized, behavior-based interview questions, with objective scoring
4. Behavioral & Motivational Assessments – comprehensive view of candidate benchmarked against your top performers, generates follow-up questions to probe potential conflicts with job requirements
5. Realistic Job Preview – mutual interview between candidate and an employee already in the position for a truer picture of the “fit”
6. Candidate Selection Guide – one-page summary of all hiring data collected, enables objective hiring decision

All of this comes together in The Candidate Workbook, an electronic file that includes all the information from Components 1 through 6 to aid in decision-making.
