The Right Hire Starts with a PI Job Assessment™
Save £18,000 on your next hire by defining what success looks like before the CVs arrive. The PI Job Assessment™ gives you a clear benchmark for fit, focus, and performance.
What Is the Job Assessment™ by The Predective Index® ?
The PI Job Assessment™ is a short, online survey that defines the behavioural traits and cognitive ability a role needs to succeed.
It helps hiring managers and key stakeholders get on the same page about what success looks like before recruitment begins.
Instead of starting with a job description, you build a benchmark for fit. This includes the working style, communication needs, decision-making pace, and problem-solving level the role demands.
The result is called a Job Target. It acts as your reference point when screening candidates, running interviews, and making hiring decisions you can stand behind.
It takes less than ten minutes to complete and works for any role, in any team, at any level.
Why Hiring Without a Clear Benchmark Costs You
Most hiring starts with a job description. But job descriptions focus on tasks, not traits.
They rarely explain how someone needs to work or what behaviours lead to success.
When hiring teams lack clarity, misalignment creeps in. That leads to poor shortlists, inconsistent interviews, and hiring decisions that don’t stick.
A mis-hire doesn’t just cost money. It slows the team down, creates tension, and often means starting again from scratch.
The PI Job Assessment™ brings structure to your hiring process.
It creates clarity across the team and gives you a consistent way to assess fit.
You reduce guesswork, cut bias, and make confident hiring decisions.
How The PI Job Assessment™ Works
Whe PI Job Assessment™ starts with setting a clear and precise target for the job role. This is done through a comprehensive online questionnaire, which is completed by key stakeholders in your company. These stakeholders could be anyone from the hiring manager to team members who understand the role’s demands well.
Once the responses are in, the tool analyses them to create a job target. This target isn’t just a list of skills; it’s a detailed profile that includes the behavioural and cognitive attributes ideal for the role. It sets a clear benchmark, making it easier to assess how well candidates align with what you’re looking for.
Start with the people who know the job best.
You send a secure link to the key people involved in the hire. Each person completes a short online questionnaire that captures their view of what’s needed in the role.
- Quick and easy: Takes minutes to complete.
- Built for alignment: Everyone’s input is brought together to create a clear picture of what the job really requires.
Turn opinions into data.
The system analyses each stakeholder’s responses to identify the behavioural traits and cognitive demands the role calls for.
- Backed by science: The output is called a Job Target – a benchmark for success based on thinking style, work preferences, and problem-solving needs.
- Aligned from the start: Instead of guesswork, everyone’s aligned on what ‘great’ looks like for the role.
Now you know what the job needs, you can measure candidates against it.
Candidates complete a behavioural assessment (about 6 minutes) and optionally a cognitive assessment (about 12 minutes).
- Fast for candidates: No long forms or CV uploads.
- Fair and objective: The platform compares each candidate’s results to your Job Target and ranks them by fit.
See who fits and why.
Every candidate is scored based on how well they match the behavioural and cognitive requirements of the role.
- Job Fit Score: Easily spot who’s most aligned.
- Clear reporting: Get data you can share with hiring managers to support decisions.
Let the Job Target guide your next steps.
From screening and shortlisting to interview questions, everything is shaped by what the job truly needs.
- Custom Interview Guides: Generated automatically for each candidate.
- Smarter decisions: Use data to support your instincts and reduce bias.
What does The Job Assessment Produce™
Once the assessment is complete, the PI software creates a Job Target. This is a clear, visual benchmark for what the role actually requires.
You’ll see the ideal levels of dominance, extraversion, patience, and formality the job demands. This helps you understand how someone should work, communicate, and make decisions in the role.
You get a recommended range for learning speed and problem-solving ability. This helps you avoid over-hiring or under-hiring based on the complexity of the role.
As assessments are completed, you can instantly compare each candidate against the Job Target. You see how closely they align and where potential gaps or strengths may lie.
