Selecting the right candidates is one of the most critical tasks facing any organisation. With ever-evolving job markets, talent shortages and a priority on diversity and inclusion – traditional hiring methods often fall short.
The Judgment Index differs when included in hiring practices because it measures the candidates’ values-based decision-making styles. Unlike conventional personality tests, it focuses on how individuals approach problem-solving and will therefore interact with others in the process of forming opinions or evaluations within the work environment. By understanding such elements, employers can make more informed hiring decisions with objective data insights.
