The Vantage Group's unique benchmarking and executive search process found us not only be best skilled executive talent, but talent that was closely aligned with our company's core values.
—Paul K., CEO of a national fire suppression systems manufacturer

Have you ever hired someone who sounded great in the interview and they presented themselves so well? You had high expectations for this new hire, but after you invested a significant amount of time, energy and money, you found they were not all you expected.

If you relate to this story, you're not alone. Turnover of your top positions can cost your company two to three times the salary of the postion you're trying to hire. Businesses everywhere are seeking better ways to secure the talent necessary to their success. Jobs and the specific talent of the people who fill them are the unique building blocks of that success. But how can you discover the specific talents required by a "job" and match them to the talents inherent in a "person?" Only through reports that will give you an accurate reading of the behaviors and values common to both the job and the person —Top Talent Fast Track

First, Vantage will Benchmark the Job
All jobs have unique requirements for behavior. These behaviors can be determined by the results of the Job Insights questionnaire, produced by the people who know the job. The result of this benchmarking process is a set of bar graphs that define required, job-related behaviors such as: Frequent Interaction with Others, Customer Oriented, Versatility, Frequent Change, Urgency, Competitiveness, Organized Workplace, Analysis of Data.

In addition, all jobs have inherent rewards and a predominant culture that drive performance excellence. When the job's rewards/culture are in line with the person performing the job, then the result is performance excellence. People whose values, or motivators, are in line with that job's rewards will excel.

Second, Vantage Will Determine the Candidates Talent
People have unique behaviors that can be matched to jobs, but seldom are! When a person's behaviors are in sync with a job's, the result is increased performance and employee satisfaction. Common behaviors range from outgoing and assertive, to soft-spoken, mild and reserved; from adventurous and daring, to controlled and restrained, and everything in between. The job applicants who complete our reports, respond to questions that define these unique behaviors.

The result is a set of bar graphs that indicate where the respondent falls within the scale of common job-related behaviors: Frequent Interaction with Others, Customer Oriented, Versatility, Frequent Change, Urgency, Competitiveness, Organized Workplace, Analysis of Data.

Like jobs, people have inherent values, or motivators, that drive their behaviors.Top Talent Fast Track helps to define those as well, such as "desiring a return on investment of time and money," and "finding personal rewards in continuous learning."

Now, Match Talent to the Job
The right talent in the right job equals top performance and employee satisfaction, which is exactly what every company wants! After completing the job benchmark with Top Talent Fast Track, and defining talent with our reports, you have a total of 14 separate factors that are key to finding the right fit.

Next, you can compare and match the job's required behaviors and rewards/culture to a candidate's ideal behaviors and motivators. You have produced a valuable piece of the information you need to make the best decisions on hiring top talent.

This information is also applied to our search process to find the talent. We will help you develop a job description, key accountabilities needed, compensation plans, interviewing guidelines, finding the talent and initial culling of resumes.

No Conflict of Interest
You can rely on Vantage to find the right talent from defining the job to presenting the best talent to you for final interviews. We are not a placement firm and we only work for you. We don't focus our efforts on placing clients who have paid us to find them a job. Many recruiting firms handle both ends of the recruitment game, and often make far more money if they place an individual that has paid them to be placed. Therefore the recruitment firm has a substantial vested interest in directing you towards their existing client base although that may not be in your best interests.

Benchmarking Success Stories:

A mortgage company was experiencing over 300% turnover annually among their sales department. The position was benchmarked and the top 5 sales people were compared to the benchmark. Turnover was reduced 250% in just 6 months after they used the DISC Assessments for their hiring standard.

A service organization was losing 60% of all new hires during their first 60 days on the job. Using the DISC tools, they changed the hiring process resulting in no turnover for the last 60 days.

One company ran 120 people through the Success Discovery Process and had a 50% increase in employee satisfaction.

Another company ran reports but did not go over the reports on a one-to-one basis and still showed a 26% increase in employee satisfaction.

Another company was losing 50% of their new hires during the training program. Benchmarking the job and bringing in the right people increased retention to 80%.

An organization had a 74% turnover in their sales force. After the benchmarking and debriefing, they reduced that number to zero during the last 18 months.
