How Leadership Assessments Help You Select the Best Mid-Level Managers and Executives

How would your organization’s potential transform if your managers and executives were top-tier performers? Bringing onboard top-notch talent for leadership roles accelerates the achievement of your organization’s strategic objectives, fostering quicker and more efficient progress. Yet, in the current talent landscape, finding and hiring proficient leaders poses a challenge. Reports suggest that replacing a leader amounts to approximately 33% of their salary (Employee Benefit News, 2017). Beyond this, the concealed expenses linked to turnover—like diminished productivity and team morale—underscore the critical need for your organization to prioritize investing in selecting high-caliber talent in the hiring process.

PRADCO Full View Assessment

PRADCO’s assessments can help you hire strong leaders by identifying behaviors that impact team and organizational performance. This results in a better chance that you hire leaders who fit your culture, perform well, and stay with the organization long-term.

PRADCO helps you hire talent at the managerial level by assessing candidates using our Full View Assessment product. This assessment provides an in-depth look at each individual candidate to determine how effective they will be at your organization. To do this, PRADCO first partners with you to customize the assessment process. We learn about the requirements for the manager role, your organization’s culture, and what types of behaviors will be needed to be successful.

After the candidate takes the leadership assessment, PRADCO conducts a behavioral interview to dive deeper into a variety of success factors. During this interview, we also provide feedback to the candidate regarding strengths and weaknesses to provide a top-notch candidate experience as well as to assess openness to feedback and coachability. All this data enables us to provide you with a comprehensive report to help your organization make the best decision possible. This report includes:

  • Ratings in four standard categories that describe a holistic view of the person
  • Analysis and overview of two custom questions to be answered
  • Key strengths and weaknesses: behaviors you will observe on the job
  • Specific areas to follow-up on and explore further
  • Recommendation for hire based on fit with the position and organization
