Benchmark Study

Benchmark Studies help you filter for those candidates that display the research-backed traits that have historically strengthened your organization.

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.

Invite your team members in a specific job to complete the assessment, and ask managers to rate their job performance.

Our research team analyzes the data and uses predictive statistics to identify the traits that separate your top performers from everyone else. The result is a finely tuned hiring profile that shows you who to hire and who to avoid.
