Candidate Selection

Successful Performance Selection Theory Unsuccessful Performance Fail Pass

Screening Process Issues • Focus on stable abilities and personality traits (A’s & P’s) • Where might EM360 fit in your existing candidate process? • What resources do you typically invest into candidates? • How to combine assessments into an overall decision? • Is fail fast an option? (Annual Recertification)

Candidacy Module Questions • Will you use the EM360 Candidate module as an initial screen or include it in a set of assessments? • How lenient will your cutoff be on the EM360 Candidate module? Should 50% of candidates move forward in the process? 75%? 85%? • If you apply a lenient cutoff when using the EM360 Candidate module, will you also implement a 'fail fast' strategy for exiting candidates from the process?
