Predictive Index Behavioral Assessment vs. SilkRoad Performance

Predictive Index has served us well so far in helping determine key personality traits of salespeople we hire. How will they sell? Is sales a good fit for them? We have not expanded to use it with other teams/depts yet. We primarily use the behavioral assessment (not cognitive).

No, we just had a bad experience unfortunately.

• Create job targets using behaviors which would enable someone to be successful.
• Helps recruit the right fit by asking the right questions.
• Helps increase communication across an organization within teams and across departments.
• Helps provide managers with support on how to best communicate and help develop their direct reports.

• Unfortunately our experience was very poor, so I don't have anything for what they do "particularly" well.

• In Beta -> Hire -> New Candidates - > I would like to see the ability to create 1 or 2 additional "Type" folders that can be customized for my company. By being able to do this, I can more efficiently manage my potential candidates, rather that every time I go to review a position, having to make these individual selections each time. I would like the favorite icon and the pass icon to remain; however find it extraneous to have to sort through these candidates each time.

Incentivized

• Transparency about the capabilities of their system. We would have never chosen WingSpan had we had a clear picture of the limitations of their system.
• Ease of use - as an administrator we found it to be difficult to work with. Of course, improvements may have been made in this area since we used it last.
• The user interface could use some updating.

We have plans to expand this to our entire organization in the US as well as our affiliates in Germany, France and the UK.

Very easy to use for both administrators and those taking the assessment. This tool is really a game-changer for staffing, onboarding, and retention. It is like having a crystal ball sometimes with insights into the behaviors of job candidates and is critical for finding the right person for the right role.

The Customer Success team has been quite helpful during the times that I've interreacted with them. I've also found support and implementation to be responsive with any questions related to the initial set up phase or for on going support. Overall we've been pleased with the support offered by Predictive Index Behavioral Assessment.

The other assessments that we examined felt more like an SAT exam than a recruitment tool. The results were difficult for our managers to read through and understand. There were a lot of words, with very little actually being said. The PI was succinct and precise.

Incentivized

We used Cvent following our WingSpan experience. It worked out much better and had more capability than WingSpan.

Incentivized

• The PI has been very helpful when analyzing employees. You cannot go wrong when you are able to see a candidate or employees work style.
• The ROI is very positive. A lot of companies have a specific culture that they are trying to create or adhere to. This software helps you see if an employee would be a good fit for your company or not.

• I feel it set us back a bit, and also caused us to lose credibility with our management team after it turned out to be a "failed experiment."
• We have gone back to a manual system of doing goal setting that works better for us.
