Personality Assessments Are the Future of Staffing

Behavioral assessments will become more widespread and routine this year, the Staffing Industry Report has predicted in its annual "Top Ten" trends and predictions for 2007.  Two key trends support the prediction that staffing and executive search firms will further integrate personality assessments into their recruitment processes this year.  An increasing body of research supports the validity and predictive value of personality assessments as a useful employment tool, and the acceptance of this fact is leading to the application of this powerful tool in organizations of all sizes.  "Behavioral assessments will be used more by staffing companies to make the best match for their clients," predicted the Staffing Industry Report, arguing that "it's critical to make the best cultural fit, as well as quality fit.”
