What if you could increase selection accuracy by up to 20-30%?

That’s what Predictor does.
Knightsbridge’s Predictor talent decision tool helps clients reduce costs, grow revenue and win the war for talent. Predictor is a scientifically valid, on-line assessment tool that accurately predicts individual performance in specific roles. It provides objective and fact-based information to help develop stronger people and stronger organizations.

Predictor is a more effective selection and development tool

Predictor reduces the percentage and cost of poor hiring decisions. Studies show even a battery of widely used tests improves decisions by less than 10 percent. Personal interviews—believed by many to be the gold standard for judging candidates—only improve decisions by about 1 percent. But Predictor increases decision accuracy by a measurable 25-30 %.

Knightsbridge clients also report dramatic reductions in time-to-hire and employee churn after adopting Predictor. In one case, a national firm used Predictor to screen applicants online. Predictor cut the candidate pool in half and the time to hire by 80%. And, by focusing on what predicted success not only in a certain role, but also the logical next role in a career path, the company was able to focus on those candidates with the most potential for success.

Predictor also reduces the amount of testing needed over time. Because each individual’s Predictor scores remain stable over time, it can be used as new decision situations arise.

It’s easy to confuse Predictor with other tests commonly used to assess job candidates and current employees. But Predictor is very different. Unlike personality tests and interviews that create a descriptive picture of each candidate, Predictor uses actuarial science to create a highly accurate predictive model that closely correlates a candidate’s profile to performance in specific roles.

Grooming a commissioned sales force

A large Canadian sales organization needed to know what key characteristics drove success among their commissioned sales people.  A 65% difference between high and poor performers meant selecting better would pay off.

  
Knightsbridge conducted a validation study to get the answers. The resulting success profile enabled the organization to predict whether a candidate had the attributes that drove a “sky’s the limit” attitude, or would be comfortable with sub-par performance and below average earnings. 

 

This client is currently seeing a 35% sales increase in teams where new hires were selected using Predictor. Those new hires are achieving high performance within 3 months of coming onboard, unprecedented in the company’s history.
