schedule demoHighMatch measures two traits that relate to Conscientiousness, Assertiveness and Structure, as part of our Assess solution.
Assertiveness is the natural tendency to take action or control in most situations. Assertive people tend to be self-starting, ambitious and energetic.
HighMatch also measures a candidate’s Structure, the tendency to seek order, certainty and correctness. Structured people tend to be detail-oriented, safety-oriented and punctual.
Our workplace psychologists conduct a benchmark study to understand what qualities are most critical for the role, analyze the qualities that top performers share, and then develop a customized Job Profile that includes personality traits, abilities, and skills.
That Job Profile is used to develop the scoring and weighting mechanism for the assessment, helping to identify whether the person is a high, medium, or low fit for the job.
