Scientifically Select Your Next Manager
Use Online Assessments
You're the founder and president of a small, entrepreneurial company that's just about to get bigger, much bigger. Running the shop with your close buddies has worked well so far. But now they're all operating at VP level and some middle management help is definitely needed.
You know it is an absolute mistake to hire the just graduated cousins or recently downsized brother-in-laws who have been proffered. You're considering using an executive search firm but feel unsure taking on whomever they offer without some sort of objective, third party opinion.
Somewhere you read about how the big companies use executive assessment batteries to screen candidates. Executive assessments measure a candidate's management skills and chart these skills against a normative group of thousands of other managers. The results is an objective, scientific profile of the candidate's managerial strengths and weaknesses, information few interviewers, no resumes and absolutely no references (in these days of instant litigation) are going to tell you.
Up until now, because they were so expensive, you thought executive assessments were only for the big guys. But not any more. Thanks to computer-based instruments and e-mail, executive assessments are now available for as little as $400. Compare that to the cost of making a bad hire (remember that warehouse manager you finally got rid of?) and you realize you can now do exactly what the big guys do scientifically select your next manager.
