Selecting the Right People
Selecting the best talent is a key business process that has tremendous impact on the bottom line. Good hiring decisions are often as much about avoiding hiring the wrong person as they are about finding the right person. On average, a bad hire costs the equivalent of one year's salary and benefits, with nothing to show for it. This is an avoidable business expense if you use well-designed and disciplined selection processes.
We design and build selection systems that can help you identify better-qualified candidates and more accurately predict an individual’s likelihood of success. Our approach ensures that our clients are making well-informed decisions about people, from front-line employees to executives. Disciplined selection systems apply to current employees who are candidates for promotion as well as to external candidates. Our methods incorporate a wide array of tools, including published tests, customized behavioral interviews, job simulations, and proprietary assessment instruments.
Companies choose Hyde & Lichter because we deliver practical, cost effective and easy to maintain tools that significantly improve selection decisions. We can provide turnkey solutions that allow clients to run the systems themselves, or we can partner with clients who want to outsource a portion of the process. In either case, our systems enable you to hit the mark more often, and avoid costly turnover. For those positions in your company where you want to minimize turnover and maximize success, this is an investment that pays for itself many times over.
