With employee turnover increasing—up 22% in the past four years alone—the costs of recruitment and replacement are grabbing more and more business revenues. Poor hiring decisions are behind the increased turnover with surveys reporting that one in three hires are deemed failures, with a further one-third staying on as ineffective employees. Sound employee selection and assessment tools are key to preventing these sorts of mistakes.

RightFit™ is the program that makes finding the "right" person for the job easier and less expensive. Statistically proven, it assists companies in screening and selecting the best job applicants by determining who has the necessary instincts. RightFit™ ends the headache of guessing how well a prospective employees will perform, by rating each candidate on a scale from "A" to "F", and providing information on how the applicant will take action according to the job requirements.

Using Kolbe provides great insight into the conative, or doing, dimension of the mind. It will be important to also incorporate the cognitive (thinking) and the affective (feeling) parts into the hiring process. RightFit™ identifies the conative part, and resumes usually give indications of the cognitive skills and knowledge acquired. Be sure to ask affective questions during the interview to determine if the candidate shares the same values and/or vision of the organization.

RightFit™ is the only process specifically developed to interpret how a person's conative strengths will affect their performance in a specific job.

Under Canadian fair-hiring laws, employers must be able to prove that the criteria they use in hiring are related to the successful performance of the specific job. Using RightFit™ allows you to demonstrate and document that you are following this legally required process.
