Step 2: Assess the Candidate
After defining the requirements and behaviours of a job, you need to
assess the behaviours a prospective candidate will bring to the job.
Employees rarely fail because they lack the experience and skills to do
the job. They fail because they lack key behavioural requirements, such
as a high sense of urgency or the ability to make decisions. You need
tools to help you know when you find the right person—with the right
temperament. The McQuaig Word Survey®
This twenty-minute self-assessment tool helps you evaluate the behaviours
a candidate will bring to the job and provides you with questions to see
how they have impacted past job performance.
The McQuaig Occupational
Test® (MOT) This test
indicates an individual's level of general mental ability; the test
measures several key components of 'intelligence'. MOT test scores
correlate highly with scores of intelligence. (Items assess
vocabulary, verbal reasoning skills and ability to perform simple
mathematical functions). Due to its timed nature, the MOT screens
efficiently for 'bright' personnel who perform well under pressure in
business settings. Due to its strict time restrictions, the test
measures both the power and speed of general intelligence (g). We
call this measure Mental Agility.
