Hays Candidate Attraction Solutions
Behaviour Profiling
We utilise two models for behavioural profiling - Insight and DISCus. Both tests evaluate the personality traits and behaviours of the tested candidate and provide a useful report to analyse either prior to selection, during interview or even at appraisal stage. Both tests are completed online and can be set up to complete at home, at work or in your local Hays office.
Insight
What is Insight?
- The aim of Insight is to support you in your aims of matching a candidate’s personality to the personality of the job.
- Insight is Web based.
- The Insights Jungian Discovery Model is Internationally well known and validated.
- Insight is not an assessment of Skills and should not be used as the sole basis for selection.
Process
Candidate goes on line and fills in the evaluator. They submit and see the profile instantly, and can read, print, save. The results are the then forwarded to the consultant. Assigned stakeholders then go online to view the report.
DisCus
What is DisCus?
At its most basic level, DISC measures four factors of an individual's behaviour: Dominance, Influence, Steadiness and Compliance. These are fairly complex constructs, and aren't easily expressed in single words, but they can be characterised as assertiveness, communication, patience and structure.
The real power of DISC, though, comes from its ability to interpret the relations between these factors. For example where a highly Dominant person has an equally high level of Influence, they will behave quite differently to an equally Dominant individual without that Influence. The factors combine like this to provide (theoretically) around one million different 'profiles' (that is, combinations of the four factors).
Using this information, DISC can be used to describe a person's general approach, including their motivations and dislikes, strengths and weaknesses, and some of the basic assumptions they make about other people. It can also go far in helping to predict how a person will react to a specific set of circumstances.
