Behavioral Models 🧬 can 4x your ability to predict a candidate's performance on the job
Behavioral Models in Searchlight is a set of defined criterion on what to hire for in a given role. The simplest way to think about Behavioral Models in Searchlight are that they are the equivalent of a Hiring Scorecard.
Behavioral Models comprise of:
Winning Traits, which is a selection of soft skills that you want to hire for
Winning Working Styles, which is a selection of preferred working styles you want to hire for
By focusing on these two, you will be 4x more predictive of a candidate’s performance on the job than solely relying on technical skills and knowledge. In fact, LinkedIn reports that 89% of mishires are due to a soft skills mismatch.
There are two primary ways to create a Behavioral Model in Searchlight:
Using Team Analytics by focusing on the Behavioral Traits and Working Styles of high performers
Using one of our Gold Standard Benchmarks that have benchmark data across our 100,000+ data set for 36 job families in both IC and manager roles
