What is a Talent Audit?

While sales talent management is a strategic priority for most organizations, there is usually room for improvement in the way they evaluate their salespeople. Effectively deciding on sales talent management is virtually impossible if you rely on subjective and inconsistent methods. After all, they are not geared to the specific skills for a particular position. Also, the results may not be sufficient for objective and accurate decision-making.

The DNA of the sales skills within your organization at a glance

Our Talent Audit system allows you to accurately compare skills and overall potential for success, gaining insight into how a salesperson’s genetic profile is coded into his or her DNA. This allows organizations to create a complete list of the strengths and development needs of all salespeople at any level, within each team or across the organization. Once the Talent Audit system has been implemented, we will get to work with you. We continuously update information about new hires, promotions, new profiles, “derailers” and any other changes to your workforce and/or the needs of your sales organization. In addition, our Talent Audit system allows you to assess new employees and add them to the database. This keeps the data up to date and allows you to update it regularly.

Select talent with the 30-30-30-10 rule For the most effective candidate selection process, we advise our clients to work with a balanced multi-stage system. That is why we strongly support the ’30-30-30-10 rule’. In addition, 30% of the final choice should be based on the test results, 30% on the background information and reference checks, 30% on the results of the job interview and the last 10% on the perceived connection to the company culture. “To help clients implement a structured, measurable application process, Talent4Success offers tailor-made evaluations and a brochure for interviews.” Job Interview Evaluation Talent4Success has developed evaluation forms that allow our clients to conduct interviews for specific positions based on questions, which focus on the various essential skills identified for the success of that position. Research shows that this questioning method is the most effective interview procedure. In this method, the interviewer asks open-ended questions that focus on the qualities that a suitable candidate should have. There is also an alternative set of questions for each of the essential skills, so even if the candidate is invited to multiple interviews, there are plenty of questions available. Both forms of the evaluation are provided with a rating scale to rate the answers. Interview brochure This brochure contains information on basic techniques to increase confidence in the outcome of the application process. You will read about the most important factors, which research shows that they are useful and useful during the procedure for hiring the right employees. Typical interview brochure content To conduct a job interview that is part of a selection system:
  • Review the essential criteria for the position, including job expectations and essential skills
  • Define the recruitment process – the most economical and objective process
  • Prepare for the interviews – Choose a method, assemble an interview team, identify common mistakes to avoid, and determine what company information to review with candidates
Have deep conversations
  • Use the questions for the job profile
Make follow-up calls
  • Integrate the impressions of the conversation with objective assessment results, which may conflict with each other
Attachments
  • Alternative questions
  • Valuable information from the reference study
  • Practical tips from highly experienced interviewers
State-of-the-art selection systems Our Chally assessment is based on extensive and ongoing actuarial research. The database contains profile data and performance measures of more than 400,000 reputable companies and candidates working in sales, management and other specialized functions. We have conducted more than 400 validation studies and continue to use state-of-the-art techniques to provide accurate performance predictions to our new client. From describing to predicting We focus on predicting success in a specific position and not just global descriptions such as ‘extroversion’. Talent4Success has developed scale models for the specific skills and behaviors that are indispensable for the success of a specific position. For example, it can be interesting to know how energetic a candidate is, but it is far more important that you know whether your intended sales candidate can find new clients, remove objections and ultimately close deals. Through this approach, we have formulated specific skill requirements for different positions. A strategic account manager must have very different skills than a telemarketer, even though both positions involve sales. This approach applies not only to sales, but also to management and many other leadership positions. Predictive assessment properties:
  • Targeted at sales, management and leadership
  • Description of behavior in a specific role rather than abstract “good guy” characteristics
  • Validated profiles
  • Quantified (numerical) proficiency measures
  • Coaching tips for weaker skills
  • Dedicated account management specialists
  • Fast turnaround time
  • Hidden (unclear) scored items and built-in validity scales
  • Reports also available for candidates
  • “Summaries” of reports available from pre-validated profiles
  • Selection audit
Advantages of assessments with a predictive value:
  • Be objective and point only to the skills for the specific position that will affect the final result
  • Focused on specific behaviors that influence the results and that can be observed and coached
  • Compared to existing methods, they provide a significant improvement in accuracy
  • Predict the actual level of performance compared to the current workforce; deliver firm recommendations rather than vague or superficial descriptions
  • Deliver immediate targets for candidate development, based on recommendations relative to individuals who perform best in a similar role
  • Fewer delays and loss of good candidates
  • Discourage manipulation of the results
  • Adjust ‘fraudsters’ scores to better understand actual behavior at work
  • The test does not need to be performed under supervision
  • Provide a means of assessing results when candidates are more admissible during the procedure
  • Reduce the evaluation costs of unqualified candidates
  • The selection scales are periodically adapted to new needs or changes in the market
Assessments are extremely useful tools for issues related to almost all aspects of personal development. Its use has therefore boomed, especially now that the accessibility of assessments has been greatly increased due to the advent of the internet. And although there are often too high expectations of what you can do with an assessment, the general awareness of arriving at clarifying insights with assessments has also grown strongly.
