The Talent Impact Profile Services (TIP)

Science Based Hiring Tool

A Science-Based Hiring Tool for Predictive Success

“It’s the greatest ROI on talent searches”

Hiring the right people for the right seats is the foundation of growth. The Talent Impact Profile™ (TIP) is a science-based hiring tool designed to move beyond the resume and predict future job performance with high reliability.

The TIP can be used for every hire at any level in your organization to ensure you are hiring with confidence using data. By measuring six mental aptitude learning skills and correlating them with ten personality dimensions, we create a comprehensive, multi-faceted profile that identifies a candidate’s true potential.

“The cost of a TIP is always less than the cost of a mis-hire”

– Alec Broadfoot

How the TIP Stacks up Against Other Assessments

No other traditional assessment covers as many key attributes of a great hire. While most tools on the market focus strictly on personality, the TIP is a dual cognitive and personality assessment.

Use an Assessment that Aligns with Your Company’s Goals.

Understanding the different domains that an employee assessment can offer is key to reducing the cost of a mis-hire:

Cognitive (The “Can Do”): This domain involves mental processes such as knowledge acquisition, comprehension, analysis, and evaluation. It measures the “mental horsepower” a candidate has to solve problems.
Affective (The “Will Do”): This encompasses emotions, feelings, attitudes, and values. It’s important to note that 95% of the 1,100+ assessments on the market fall strictly under this personality category
Conative (The “How”): This relates to a person’s natural inclination toward action, volition, and striving. It explores how a candidate actually approaches tasks and challenges.

How We Use the Talent Impact Profile

Teams that understand each other, work better together! We utilize the TIP in three distinct ways to support your organizational health:

The Right Fit Profiler™ is a core part of the VisionSpark search process. It is a behavioral assessment for hiring that combines the TIP with our Leadership Behavioral Analysis.

Goal: Find a candidate who is likely to succeed and has a science-based proclivity to lead.

Team Analyzer is a specialized employee assessment for team health. Your team takes the TIP analysis and participates in a guided workshop to understand their collective dynamics.

Goal: Increase team health, improve the working environment, and become more productive!

The Side-by-Side is part of our search process. We perform a TIP on both the candidate (or current employee) and the supervising manager to compare working styles.

Goal: Set the relationship up for success and provide behavioral interview questions for candidates that probe areas of potential concern.
