Hiring a new employee is sort of like buying a new car. For example, you know that rushing the process will probably create lots of headaches later. You know it does not make sense to start shopping until you are clear about what you will need. And you know that just because you like a car – or a candidate – doesn’t mean you should make that commitment – unless you’re sure the ‘fit’ is right. The KENNA Company will help you ensure the fit is right.

How? By identifying what attributes, behaviors and motivators will be needed to effectively do the job. This will insure that you are looking for the critical 'people skills' required for the job. By helping you incorporate this information into a customized job benchmark (like a shopping list, or set of job specifications - not a job description) to help make each phase of the process targeted. This will produce the best results and save you time. By helping you create job descriptions (if they don’t yet exist) or helping you update them if they are no longer accurate. Want to know more about the benefits of job benchmarking? Call 816-943-0868.

Once you clearly know which attributes, behaviors and motivators will be needed to do a job well, you will write more specific employment ads or give clearer instructions to recruiters. That will reduce the number of ‘not-a-chance’ applications you receive. And you can ask more specific interview questions. That will reduce the amount of time you would have spent interviewing those ‘not-a-chance’ interviewees.

Once you have identified one (or more) viable candidates, The KENNA Company will help you gather hard-to-ask but important-to-know information. Like how the person handles problems, or people. Whether they prefer a calm, steady work pace or a place that’s buzzing with activity. Are they more motivated by getting and seeing their results or by helping others? What are their attitudes when it comes to customer service or developing others or being a self started? Your final candidates will complete a brief, yet thorough, set of three validated and reliable assessment instruments (online 24/7). These completely EEOC compliant tools will instantly (yes, instantly) generate personalized reports that tell you exactly what you need to know to ensure the candidate is a great fit for the job. Want to know more about the assessment instruments and reports? Call 816-943-0868.

Want the benefits of a selection system that works, but your time is limited. The KENNA Company can help you develop behaviorally-based interview questions, create job descriptions, interview candidates, interpret candidates’ assessment reports and provide interviewing training for your hiring managers. We can even generate a development plan for candidates you decide to hire.
