The Talent Impact Profile™️ (TIP)

The Key to Smarter, Data-Driven Hiring

Hiring Mistakes Are Expensive—How Much Are They Costing You?

Did you know that a bad hire can cost your company up to $1.5 million? Beyond the financial impact, the wrong hire can disrupt productivity, lower morale, and stall business growth. Yet, many companies still rely on outdated hiring methods that leave too much to chance.

The solution? A scientific approach to hiring. The Talent Impact Profile™ (TIP) is the most effective and comprehensive hiring assessment tool available, empowering businesses to make confident, data-driven decisions.

See TIP™ in Action: A Smarter Way to Predict Hiring Success

Imagine knowing how an employee would perform in a role before you hired them. With the Talent Impact Profile™ (TIP), you don’t have to guess—you get data-driven insights that predict success with unmatched accuracy.

Take a look at the example below—a Salesperson TIP™ Assessment that reveals key strengths, cognitive abilities, and behavioral traits, ensuring the right person is in the right seat from day one.

Candidate 1: Tina Talksalot

TIP™ Results Show:

High Communication could indicate one who may talk too much and not listen to what the client needs
Energy and Sense of Urgency scores indicate one who may procrastinate and may lack the energy needed to make sales appointments/calls and the urgency to “close the deal”
High Process Orientation and Organization may indicate a struggle to think quickly and creatively in new situations
Low Questioning Tendency indicates a tendency to be blindsided after not asking enough questions

Candidate 2: Seymour Sales

TIP™ Results Show:

High Score Learning Style, Assertiveness, and Motivation indicate the GWC (Get it, Want it, & Capacity) to see opportunities, aggressively go after the prize, and “seal the deal”
Energy and Sense of Urgency indicate a tendency towards a good drive balance and sense of urgency
Audience Sensitivity, Questioning Tendency, and Communication scores tend to indicate a superstar salesperson

What is the Talent Impact Profile™ (TIP)?

“The Greatest ROI on talent searches.”

The Talent Impact Profile™ (TIP)

is a research-backed assessment that predicts a candidate’s job success with unparalleled precision. It evaluates applicants across three critical dimensions:

Cognitive (problem-solving ability and mental agility)
Affective (emotional intelligence and personality traits)

This evaluation makes TIP a versatile tool, suitable for hiring at all levels across diverse industries. By using TIP, companies significantly reduce hiring risks—because the cost of TIP is always lower than the cost of a hiring mistake.

What Sets TIP Apart?

Many hiring assessments, such as Kolbe, DISC, and Myers-Briggs, focus on just one aspect of a candidate—whether it be personality, cognitive ability, or behavioral style. TIP is different.

How TIP Surpasses Traditional Assessments

Holistic Evaluation: TIP measures cognitive and affective factors, offering a complete candidate profile.
Predictive Accuracy: TIP doesn’t just categorize candidates—it provides deep insights into their future performance.
Actionable Insights: TIP generates behavioral interview questions, ensuring hiring managers make informed, strategic decisions.

TIP’s comprehensive analysis offers a deeper, more accurate look at candidates, making it the most advanced hiring tool available today.

How TIP Elevates Hiring Success

Hiring isn’t just about filling a position—it’s about ensuring the right fit for long-term success. TIP helps organizations:

Eliminate costly mis-hires by pinpointing the best candidates.
Strengthen team dynamics by identifying individuals who will enhance company culture.
Improve employee retention and productivity, leading to greater profitability.

The Real Impact of TIP:

Boosts financial performance by ensuring hires contribute meaningfully.
Reduces turnover by selecting candidates who are truly aligned with the role and company culture.
Enhances productivity by helping new hires integrate seamlessly and excel quickly.
