JOB FIT + ORGANIZATION FIT = SUCCESS
Success requires a great fit with a candidate/employee, job, and organization. SuccessFinder provides analytics to so you can assess both:
- Person-Job fit — measuring a person's suitability for successful performance. It includes skills, knowledge about specific subjects, cognitive abilities and behavioural traits.
- Person-Organization fit — systematically measuring fit with the organization is essential during the hiring and ongoing development processes. It is infrequently assessed.
Our powerful talent analytics support your decisions about fit across an employee's career — selection, development, performance, and succession.
I believe, and always have, that behaviour is the most important aspect of hiring. You can teach a skill, but you can’t teach the behaviour about how to make the most of that skill. SuccessFinder brings behaviours to light and quantifies them for us against what is crucial to our organization.

Business Benefits of SuccessFinder
A bad hire is bad for business. It wastes time, and stresses the organization and the person you hired and fired. Our approach to achieving strategy of business success focuses on achieving value for the shareholder and has two necessary conditions: satisfied customers and a satisfied workforce. We drive employee success and career satisfaction.

We use SuccessFinder in all our talent analytics used for selection, employee career development, succession planning, team development and leadership coaching.
Using performance competencies, we can provide an additional view of a candidate versus a higher performer.
In addition to technical skills, academic background and professional experience acquired, an individual’s natural behavioural tendencies are crucial elements to achieving success at work. Our goal in creating this model is to provide better ways for organizations to capture these natural behavioural tendencies and leverage them to develop the strong, resilient leaders required to drive today’s business strategies. SuccessFinder measures 85 performance traits. The 26 performance competencies consist of three to six behavioural characteristics. The competencies are grouped into five categories. They are very useful for developing a performance plan as they reflect the interaction of the traits.
How the traits combine along with a career theme in different dynamic combinations to predict business and career success. These combinations constitute the complex behavioural trait dynamics that we see in the workplace and can be measured using competencies and a readiness to influence others directly.
Performance competency is the kind of skill set that an individual should have so that he or she can meet the goals of the organization. Measuring performance competency is a tough job for any human resource manager. SuccessFinder makes it easy. Due to the increasingly complex structure of the organization, it is imperative for individuals to have a good and healthy relationships with people across departments.
In some organizations, including behavioural competencies is part of their appraisal as well.
Why do organizations need to understand performance competencies?
Understanding performance competencies play an essential role in succession planning, workforce planning, and training and development.
