The Benefits of Hiring the Right Integrator (and the costs of hiring the wrong one)

For companies running on EOS®, the Integrator is a vital role that works closely with the company’s Visionary. 

The Integrator is the filter and executor of all the Visionary’s ideas, the glue that holds the company together, the position that keeps the Leadership Team accountable, and the steady force that ensures the business plan is implemented.

When you find the right person to fill this crucial role, magical things happen:

• Your Visionary will have more time to focus on their unique ability
• Your business will grow exponentially
• You will have better communication among the team
• Ideas will be implemented faster and more efficiently
• Team members will have more accountability

But when you don’t find the right person for this role and instead hire someone who is not a cultural fit, damaging things can happen:

• You lose productivity because of mismanaged teams
• Mistakes are made and business opportunities get missed
• Resources are wasted on having to repeat the hiring process
• Employee morale suffers, causing A players to leave
• Company culture is undermined by loss of trust and core values
• Client relationships are strained because of declined customer service

For most companies, hiring the wrong person happens more often than not. According to a Gallup study, companies fail to choose the right candidate 82% of the time.

At VisionSpark, we understand the significance of the Integrator role and, since 2012, have built a reputation on successfully placing the right Integrator in the right seat. We have a 95% success rate! 

Here’s how we do it:

• We write an engaging position profile. This enhanced job description is a marketing piece that attracts the right candidates and repels the wrong ones. 
• We use high-quality, behavioral-based interview questions. These specific questions probe for thoughtful answers and examples that demonstrate the candidate’s experience.
• We administer an assessment. Our assessments measure personality dimensions and mental aptitudes, which are effective in identifying the right person for the right seat.
