The Right Hire Starts with the PI Job Assessment™
Set a standard for performance before the search starts. The PI Job Assessment™ connects every hire to measurable business impact.
When recruitment and business goals drift apart
When recruitment and business strategy move in different directions, the impact is felt quickly. Leaders lose time debating what the role should deliver. Hiring teams pull in separate directions. The process drags on, and progress stalls.
Each delay adds cost and pressure. Targets slip, the team carries the workload, and the next decision is made in haste just to keep things moving.
The PI Job Assessment™ brings leadership alignment back to the start of the process. It defines the results a role must deliver and the traits needed to achieve them. Every decision then supports the business plan.
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.
The importance of The PI Job Assessment™
Every hiring decision reflects on leadership. When a hire succeeds, performance moves forward and confidence in direction grows. When it fails, progress slows, and the impact is felt across the business.
The PI Job Assessment™ helps leaders make decisions that stand up to scrutiny. It defines what the role must deliver, how success will be measured, and what traits are needed to achieve it.
This gives leaders a consistent way to evaluate candidates, reduce wasted time, and protect the results that matter most. It strengthens accountability and builds a hiring process that supports both performance and reputation.
How The PI Job Assessment™ works
The PI Job Assessment™ gives leaders a structured way to define what success in a role actually looks like before the search begins. It starts with a short online exercise completed by those who understand the position best. Each participant focuses on what the role must achieve, how results will be measured, and what behaviours drive success in that environment.
Once the responses are complete, the system analyses the data and produces a Job Target. This target shows the behavioural traits and cognitive capacity the role demands. It becomes the reference point for every stage of recruitment, guiding shortlists, interviews, and final selection.
Every step connects hiring decisions to business outcomes. Leaders gain a repeatable process that strengthens results and protects performance across the organisation.
Invite decision-makers who know the role to describe the results it must deliver and the challenges it faces. Their combined input creates the foundation for alignment and accountability.
Translate expectations into measurable traits that link directly to business goals. This ensures the hire supports delivery, not just capacity.
The assessment produces a benchmark showing the behavioural and cognitive ranges that predict success in the role. It gives leaders an evidence base for evaluation.
Assess candidates against the Job Target to see how well they match the demands of the work. Use the results to focus interviews, reduce bias, and select the person most likely to perform.
Why more leaders start with the PI Job Assessment™
The PI Job Assessment™ gives leaders a defined standard for success before recruitment begins. It aligns decision-makers on the outcomes the role must deliver and the traits needed to achieve them.
Every project follows our Recruitment Optimisation Framework with The Predictive Index®. This connects the role definition to business goals and ensures every hiring decision supports delivery, not guesswork.
Leaders gain structure, shared accountability, and faster progress from the first discussion to the final hire. Each appointment protects time, reduces risk, and strengthens results across the organisation.
What does The Job Assessment™ produce
The PI Job Assessment™ produces a clear benchmark called a Job Target. This gives leaders a measurable standard for what the role demands and how success should be delivered. It replaces guesswork with evidence that guides every decision from shortlist to offer.
Each output connects directly to business results. Leaders gain visibility over how each hire will perform, how quickly they will contribute, and where they will have the greatest impact.
See the behavioural drives that predict success in the role. The Job Target highlights the required levels of dominance, extraversion, patience, and formality so leaders understand how someone needs to work, communicate, and make decisions to perform.
Understand the learning speed and problem-solving ability the role requires. Leaders can avoid over-hiring or under-hiring and ensure the level of complexity matches the capability needed.
As candidates complete their assessments, results appear against the Job Target. Leaders can instantly compare fit, identify strengths, and recognise potential gaps before interviews take place.
