The modern cloud environment is enabling game-changing innovation — that’s clear.

You make your best hiring decisions when you use objective data about a job candidate’s thinking style, behavioral traits, and interests. Sure, a candidate’s experiences and how they perform in interviews are meaningful, but those aspects are far more prone to unconscious bias. To ensure you and your organization align with industry best practices, a validated hiring and selection tool with data-driven insights is essential.

The basic aim of the hiring process is to find and select the best fit for the job to be done — a concept known as job fit. Job fit is determined by how closely an individual’s innate talents, behavioral tendencies, and interests align with those predictive of success in a particular role. Essentially, job fit helps you determine if someone can do the job and if they will find fulfillment in the job.
