Making the very human decisions about hiring simpler and smarter.

What can an effective selection tool do?  It increases the chances of making a good hire by providing quantitative data about fit.  It fills the gap between resume and interview.  It helps you interview better and hire smarter.

PXT Select™ is an online selection assessment that measures a candidate’s cognitive abilities, behaviors and interests:  three areas that impact an individual’s approach to situations in the workplace.

The assessment results equip organizations and hiring managers with easy to understand information about the candidate and provides intuitive questions to strengthen the interview process.

The PXT Select™ suite of reports helps organizations to select, onboard, coach and develop employees.

Assessment Tools

Whether you are a leading a team of many or just leading yourself,  assessment tools are among the most effective means of increasing overall effectiveness in your organization.

Assessments improve self-awareness, identifying both key strengths and blind spots that may be preventing progress.

They also provide insight into the strengths and preferences of others that you interact with on a regular basis, so that you can improve your relationships and work more collaboratively to accomplish key priorities.

Organizations that use assessments are better able to leverage key strengths and identify talent gaps so that leaders can spend more time getting results and less time solving human resource problems.

Questions to Ask Yourself

  • What is the current level of trust, collaboration, commitment and accountability among your team members?
  • How effective is your current recruitment and selection process in finding the best possible candidates?
  • How are you currently assessing the future leadership capabilities of your organization?
  • What are you doing to understand, prioritize and fill the talent gaps to position your company for long-term growth?

Contact us today to learn how to use assessment tools to get better results now!

Customized Solutions include:

  • Facilitated Strategy Sessions to Identify Your Future Needs and Priorities
  • Leadership Development and Training to Position Your Team for Higher Performance Levels
