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 Yet, many companies still rely on outdated hiring methods that leave too much to chance.
Why Traditional Hiring Fails
Conventional assessments and interview methods often miss the mark by focusing on only one or two traits—overlooking critical predictors of on-the-job success. The result? Poor fits, misaligned expectations, and costly turnover.
A New Way Forward with the TIP™ Assessment
See TIP™ Assessment 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™) assessment, 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™ Assessment 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
Candidate 2: Seymour Sales
TIP™ Assessment 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™ Assessment?
“The Greatest ROI on talent searches.”
The TIP™ Assessment
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™ assessment a versatile tool, suitable for hiring at all levels across diverse industries. By using TIP™ assessment, companies significantly reduce hiring risks—because the cost of TIP™ assessment is always lower than the cost of a hiring mistake.
How the TIP™ Assessment Surpasses Traditional Tools
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™ assessment is different.
What Sets the TIP™ Assessment Apart?
- Holistic Evaluation: TIP™ assessment measures cognitive and affective factors, offering a complete candidate profile.
- Predictive Accuracy: TIP™ assessment doesn’t just categorize candidates—it provides deep insights into their future performance.
- Actionable Insights: TIP™ assessment generates behavioral interview questions, ensuring hiring managers make informed, strategic decisions.
TIP™ assessment’s comprehensive analysis offers a deeper, more accurate look at candidates, making it the most advanced hiring tool available today.
