Benchmark Study

A Benchmark Study by HighMatch’s I-O Psychology team provides insight into the traits and abilities indicative of success in your specific roles and culture.

What is a Benchmark Study?

A HighMatch Benchmark Study collects data from your employees by having them complete an assessment.

Our workplace psychologists synthesize results to understand consistent traits amongst your best performers, and how those differ from low performers.

This data can be used with our Assess solution to filter for candidates that display the high-impact traits that have historically strengthened your organization.

HighMatch Benchmark Studies Are:

backed by science

Our team of experienced workplace psychologists use proven research techniques and decades of experience to identify those qualities that contribute most to success.

Highly actionable

Insights can be used in multiple ways, from selecting candidates most likely to be successful to identifying existing employees that are better suited for other roles.

impactful

Hiring candidates whose innate traits mirror those of your high performers can lead to better performance, faster speed to productivity and a reduction in turnover.

optimizing your workplace

A Benchmark Study helps identify not only candidates that are likely to be successful, but also identify those that could detract from the success of the organization.

These insights will improve overall retention rates and reduce turnover, as candidates are being recruited into a space where their talents are more likely to shine.
