Have You Ever Hired Someone That Did Not Work Out


Businesses everywhere are recognizing the need for their employees to have the personal talents their positions need for superior performance.


We define personal talents as natural actions or responses that an individual consistently uses because he or she values these talents, and they produce emotional rewards for the individual. When employees receive emotional rewards for their work, they produce more in less time, have less stress, and contribute to a positive work environment.


The key is to use an assessment tool that accurately identifies the personal talents for any position.


We represent Talent Management Plus™ (TMP), a software program that utilizes a set of assessments with construct validity and a patented method for delivering accurate information about the personal talents that candidates possess. TMP also accurately identifies the key accountabilities for any position. The software compares the candidate to the position to determine if there is a match for the position, and we guarantee the results.


The TMP software is an excellent predictor of the performance of candidates or incumbents for any position.

All assessments are not created equal!


Our strategic partner for over 25 years is Target Training International (TTI), Ltd., of Scottsdale, AZ. TTI publishes many assessments, including TMP, that are sold worldwide. All assessments are thoroughly tested and validated to produce results.


Some of TTI’s Construct Validity studies have an N = 120,898 people. Some words used in the mid-1990s to describe a term or emotion are not valid in 2010, which we can prove through TTI’s published validation data.


We have a passion to help companies select the right person for any position. Our success at this process is the result of evaluating over 17,000 employees in hundreds of companies, in all sections of the US and Central and Western Canada. We conducted over 14,000 hours of one-on-one coaching sessions – working with employees for a 12-month period, learning firsthand the truth about the personal talents people have and how they use them.


We learned it is difficult for people to modify their behaviors when their positions call for it. Sometimes employees have the technical skills for a position, but are not receiving an emotional reward for using these skills in their current positions. We learned that in these cases, employees do not perform well, and place themselves and others under considerable stress that increases with time.


As employees’ personal stress increases, they focus more on their pain and less on their job, which causes them to become disengaged, which reduces their performance and increases company costs. Research proves that personal stress becomes a health risk for individuals and therefore an additional cost for the company.

Why should you consider our Employee Search service?

  • We have a 96% retention rate for our candidates' remaining on the job for two years or  more.
  • We guarantee our candidates will hit the ground running on day one.
  • CareerBuilder.com reports that we have 50% more candidates viewing our positions than their national average. 
  • We find candidates others cannot.
  • Our candidates come with a 64-page “How to Work With” manual that has construct validity.

Here are the details behind these claims:

We have a 96% retention rate because of our focused approach. We define the key accountabilities and the culture required for the position. We also have a unique method for benchmarking a position that produces the details needed to hire the right person the first time.


We guarantee our candidates will hit the ground running on day one because we accurately define, identify, and match the needs of the position with the capabilities of the candidate. This information is a powerful predictor of how the person will perform in the position.


We use CareerBuilder.com to advertise for candidates. They report that our ads produce a rate per “view of the job to a yield for an application” that is 50% higher than their national average. The result is that we produce 50% more candidates per position than other search firms do.


We find candidates others cannot because of a combination of efforts that provide us with 50% more candidates to consider for a position. CareerBuilder.com evaluated our ads and found that we are above the average for defining the requirements for a position, describing the position, and establishing the qualifications for it. On average, we review 125 resumes to find one candidate that is a match for the position. We utilize patented software that has a set of assessments with construct validity to produce accurate information about the personal talents that candidates possess.


Our candidates come with a 64-page “How to Work With” manual that has construct validity. It is the only one of its kind. TTI publishes the manual; like all their work, it is thoroughly tested and validated to produce results.

Here are the ways our Employee Search is a value-added service:


  • It allows your resources to be at work doing what they do best while we do what we do best.
  • Our service pre-qualifies the candidates we send, saving you time and money. 
  • We will forward only those candidates who are a match for the position.

  • Our fees are very competitive.

If a picture is worth a thousand words, then a demonstration is worth a thousand pictures.

  • Why we interview 125 candidates so we only send you the top two or three
