pre-employment
A personality assessment helps employers gather data about a candidate’s motivators, communication style, preferences and emotional qualities.
Hiring a new employee is a big decision. The more information and insight you have about the person at the right stage, the better your hiring decision will be.
A work personality assessment is used to determine whether a candidate is a good fit for the job, in terms of their disposition, work ethic, and overall nature.
The HighMatch Personality Assessment is a pre-employment test that measures seven personality traits, which collectively describe a person’s natural disposition and thinking style.
HighMatch also measures aptitude and problem-solving skills using our Aptitude Assessment. Both assessments can be tailored to focus on the most important traits for the job.

Organizations large and small all share a desire to find candidates who will not only excel in the role they are applying for, but also exhibit those traits, abilities and skills which lead to success in the organization.
Candidates who check both boxes tend to stay longer and are more likely to grow into leadership roles in the organization.

It is common for workplaces to use personality assessments such as Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), DISC Assessment, The Enneagram, and StrengthsFinder.
While these tests are good for team building, they are not designed to predict job performance. An understanding of the job is required to predict performance.
At HighMatch, we compare a candidate’s personality assessment test results with the qualities and skills required for success in the role and your organization.
Not only do you receive information on a candidate’s personality traits, you understand how those traits manifest on the job, and are likely to impact job performance.
