What is a benchmark? A benchmark is a measuring stick that gives you the ability to understand what will constitute success in a particular role in your company. It will help you understand the skills, behaviors, and motivators that the candidate will need to achieve success in the position. You then assess top candidates to see how they measure up to this benchmark.
In this on-demand lesson, we walk you through a fictitious service company and take you through the hiring and promotion process of 3 candidates. Each candidate’s assessment will be compared against the job benchmark and then analyzed to see if they would be a superior performer in that role. Matching the proper candidate to a job benchmark results in greater employee engagement, higher profits, and satisfied customers. It also saves you money by hiring the correct candidate the first time!
If you plan to use benchmarks in your company, this is a great tool to help you understand:
- – The 3 sciences that make up a job benchmark
- – How to utilize this job benchmark in the hiring process
- – How to read a gap report to determine who would be a good fit for the role
- – How to compare multiple candidates
- – How to use a job benchmark in the promotion process
