The TargetSketch is a predictive behavior profiling tool based on an easy-to-use online questionnaire format. The Sketch results are used to develop a behavior profile focusing on themes that have been shown by research to be associated with high-performance and success. Depending on the particular Sketch (there are different versions for different types of position), there are 30 to 50 questions. 

The Sketch is delivered online. What that means is that a user accesses the Sketch using a standard web browser running on a computer of some sort attached to the Internet. 
Sketch results are also delivered online. 

Along with other screening and selection strategies these sketches provide valuable information to help in determining which applicants will be interviewed.

Structured Interviews are carefully scripted programmed interviews that focus on predictive behavioral themes.

"The structured behavioral interview has several strengths that contribute to reliability, validity, legal defensibility, and perceptions of fairness. On the other hand, the unstructured interpersonal interview can be one of the most unreliable and invalid methods of selection available. The validity of the unstructured interview has been reported to be lower than most other types of selection systems. Due to the potential for subjectivity and bias, an unstructured interview process leaves an agency particularly vulnerable to legal attack. The structured behavioral interview also greatly enhances the quality and honesty of information gathered from employment interviews."

Our behavior based structured interviews are used in the final stage of selection after initial screening.

Structured interview questions are scripted, research based, job related and open ended. The results of a structured interview predict on-the-job behavior at a much higher rate than traditional subjective interviews. This process takes candidate screening to the next level of productivity by clearly measuring Behavioral/Actualization of key attributes and make selection decisions based on objective listening rather than feeling and intuition.

TargetInterview™ is designed to predict how an applicant is likely to perform once on the job.

Training and certification is required to use TargetSuccess Structured Interviews. (Contact us for pricing, availability, and further information)
