Soft Skills

Have I hired the right person? This is a common question asked by human resources professionals and managers around the world.

In many companies, human resources managers, career coaches, and recruiters are faced with a large number of job applications each year, many of which don’t even get looked at. Let’s be honest, only the first couple of applications get reviewed and the rest come from references or connections you have. You trust your connections and you will hire those referred to you because this makes your job that much easier.

But still, how do you know you’ve hired the right person? You could literally sit and read all of the applications and resumes sitting on your desk. We don’t doubt your ability to do this day in and day out. However, we know a way that you can zip through applications, and feel more confident in narrowing your choices to the right candidates for an interview.

Talentobe offers innovative and modern cloud solutions to professionals like yourself that allow you to view and interpret the personalities and motivations of each applicant (with their consent, of course).

Talentobe differs from the Myers Briggs in that it allows you to explore precise personality traits and enables you to reach and serve more individuals by satisfying their needs. Between the career coach and the potential employee, there exists a sense of openness, communication and accountability or transparency that is not found within other tests because results can be immediately shared and interpreted. Not only do you benefit from this experience, but your population does too! In other websites where questionnaires are offered, people don’t have direct access to their own results and, in fact, sometimes never even get to see them. Talentobe, on the other hand, offers everyone a personalized, user-centric experience that facilitates potential employees to seek the right position for themselves, which lowers the number of applications you must go through to select the perfect candidate. It’s a “win-win” situation if you ask us…

Talentobe has also broken from traditional pay-pertest models and allows career coaches or career counselors to administer unlimited questionnaires via the Talentobe online platform. Our cloud solution provides the speed, flexibility and security that every human resources manager and recruiter needs. To help you guide every individual in the right direction, our Talentobe Manager gives you access to the fundamental tools and empowers you to be better at what you do.

With Talentobe Manager, more HR Managers and professionals aren’t just reviewing the first couple of applications, but are getting to know each candidate at a more personal level, and are identifying the qualities or talents that naturally fit the role in less time.

We aren’t saying that resumes or CVs are not important! Realistically, however, these can be painted in a distorted way, which is what Talentobe’s unbiased personality and motivations questionnaire avoids. Talentobe adheres to the highest standards of the American Psychological Association (APA) and makes it difficult for applicants to shape an “ideal” profile. As Talentobe does this, we are able to lower the high percentage of unhappy employees in the world. A recent Forbes article stated that, “only 13% of workers feel engaged by their jobs” and that “work is more often a source of frustration than one of fulfillment for nearly 90% of the world’s workers.” At Talentobe, we believe that it’s best to select those who are fitting, motivated, engaged, and fulfilled in their position.

Talentobe’s tools get you access to an accurate representation of each person’s talents and incentives, leading you to select the right person for the position offered.

Be a part of our growing community of professionals in human resources and feel confident with your choices in less time. 88% of users recommend Talentobe to their friends, and our Certified Counselors couldn’t be any happier!
