Allows for me to ask better questions
What do you like best?
The personality assessment was spot on. It really allowed for us to see what they were like and if they would fit in our company culture. When we followed the questions to ask it allowed for us to get more in-depth perspective of who they really are and whether or not they were honest with themselves when taking the exam.
What do you dislike?
The test itself, when taken seriously, can be a bit mentally draining. I took it and scored relatively high on it (94-98 percentile) on our different assessments and it made us wonder if we were being correct in the type of individual for the role and that we perhaps needed to reevaluate the role and type of person for it. That's the one part I would have liked a bit more assistance on from the Berke team on ensuring that were thinking of the position thoroughly. Another issue that I encountered for individuals is that if they were distracted, taking this test at home with possible distractions that would not score well.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
Reducing the amount of turnover by finding the right person sooner than later. The downside to it is that we are finding out that a lot of candidates are under qualified or ranked low and we took a chance on someone that was ranked low and has been doing quite well. What we've realized is that although someone may not have the best resume that they may be a better fit when we followed the questions to ask guidelines.
