The Power of Behavioral Science in Talent Decisions

Predict Success.

What Is Behavioral Science and Why Does It Matter in HR?

Behavioral science is the study of how people act and make decisions. In the workplace, it helps us understand the traits and tendencies that lead to success – not just what people say they’ll do, but what they’re likely to do in real-world situations.
At PRADCO, we don’t rely on guesswork. We use validated and reliable tools to assess behavioral tendencies proven to predict performance. From hiring and promotion to leadership development and team effectiveness, our approach turns data into smarter people decisions.
How PRADCO Applies Behavioral Science
We use behavioral science to assess, coach, and develop people with one goal in mind: helping organizations succeed by building better talent strategies.

Assessments That Predict On-the-Job Success
We assess the behavioral traits that matter most like accountability, resilience, and leadership style using structured tools developed by psychologists. Our assessments are tailored to your organization’s roles and culture to drive performance from day one.

Training That Drives Real Behavior Change
Our organizational development programs and workshops go beyond concepts. We focus on developing the behavioral skills that build trust, improve communication, and strengthen team dynamics, resulting in better collaboration and execution.

Coaching That Translates Insight into Action
Using tools like our Quick View™ 360-Degree Feedback Survey, we help leaders gain a holistic view of how they show up, and how they can improve. Then we guide them through a personalized plan to develop high-impact behaviors and leadership presence.
What Makes PRADCO Different?
Most firms stop at personality traits. We deliver behavioral insight that drives results.

Real Impact
Firefighter benchmarking has helped our department find the best candidates that fit the culture of our department. Being able to determine the most important character traits has allowed us to build an efficient department that offers a high level of service. We have used this benchmarking since 2008 and have found the personnel hired have less discipline issues and perform at higher levels.

Using their service has completely changed our interview process. Our hiring managers rely on getting the PRADCO assessments ahead of the interview and really rely on the data that comes from them to determine if there’s any initial red flags with the candidate. They also rely on the questions included in the assessment to pinpoint strengths and weaknesses of the candidate. Our managers really like to have the assessment results going into an interview.
