Posted by Craig Palmer on December 30, 2024.

The Profiles Incorporated PXT Select™ Talent Management System is a comprehensive suite of assessment tools all utilizing similar language, designed to enhance your organization’s hiring, development, and retention strategies. By leveraging data-driven insights, it enables you to make informed decisions throughout the employee lifecycle. Key components of this system include the PXT Select Step One Survey®, PXT Select™ Assessment, and PXT Select CheckPoint 360°™. Here are 3 ways to effectively integrate these tools:

1. Step One Survey®:  Pre-screening Candidates

Begin your talent acquisition process with the PXT Select Step One Survey®, a brief pre-hire assessment that evaluates an individual’s basic work-related values. This tool measures factors such as integrity, reliability, work ethic, and attitudes toward theft and substance abuse. By implementing this survey early in the selection process, you can efficiently filter candidates, focusing on those who align with your organization’s core values and reducing the risk of bad hires.

2. PXT Select™ Assessment:  Comprehensive Candidate Evaluation

After narrowing down your candidate pool, utilize the PXT Select™ Assessment to gain a deeper understanding of each individual’s cognitive abilities, behavioral traits, and interests. This assessment provides a comprehensive view of how well a candidate fits a specific role by comparing their results to performance models tailored to your organization’s needs. The insight garnered via 13 different reports can guide interview questions, inform hiring decisions, and assist in onboarding, coaching and development efforts, ensuring a strong job fit and promoting long-term employee satisfaction and engagement.

3. PXT Select CheckPoint 360°™:  Leadership Development

For existing managers and leaders, the CheckPoint 360°™ survey offers a multi-source feedback mechanism to evaluate leadership effectiveness. By collecting input from supervisors, peers, direct reports, and others, this tool identifies strengths and areas for development across eight universal management competencies and 18 skill sets. This is all accomplished with a 15-minute questionnaire.  The resulting personalized development plan aids leaders in enhancing their skills, aligning with organizational goals, and driving team success.

Integrating the Tools

To maximize the benefits of the PXT Select™ Talent Management System, consider the following integration strategies:

• Sequential Implementation: Apply the Step One Survey® during initial candidate screening, follow with the PXT Select™ Assessment for shortlisted candidates, and utilize CheckPoint 360°™ for ongoing leadership development.
• Consistent Application: Ensure all candidates and employees undergo the relevant assessments to maintain consistency and objectivity in your talent management processes.
• Data-Driven Decisions: Leverage the insights from these assessments to inform hiring, development, and succession planning, aligning your people strategy with your business objectives.

By integrating the PXT Select Step One Survey®, PXT Select™ Assessment, and PXT Select CheckPoint 360°™ into your talent management practices, you create a robust framework for selecting and developing individuals who will contribute to your organization’s success.
