What do they want?
Core motives and values shape what a person finds rewarding and how they make decisions. Financial security, the chance to innovate, the wish to make a difference.
Hogan assessment: one more piece of evidence, not the decision
A Hogan report tells you how a candidate is likely to show up at work. Read it beside what you heard in the interview, measured against the Cipher.
What a Hogan assessment tells you
Hogan assessments give insight into three questions about a candidate.
How will they get it?
Everyday, or bright-side, personality characteristics predict success in careers, relationships and education, alongside experience and skill.
What could get in the way?
Under pressure, strengths can turn into weaknesses. The ambitious salesperson becomes a cutthroat competitor. Dark-side characteristics, left unseen, can derail careers.
Using it with your interview evidence
Four interviewers can leave with four private ideas of the role. A personality report added to that mix does not fix it. HireBest starts from the Cipher, a shared definition of the job: the Charge, the Outcome, the Deliverables and the Efforts. Interview evidence is measured against it.
The Hogan report then sits on the same candidate application. It is one more input for the team. HireBest shows the reports that are available. The hiring team makes the decision.
How ordering works in HireBest
1. Turn it on
An Admin enables Hogan for your organization, once, and adds a payment card. Each job then chooses the reports available for the role.
2. Order and approve
From the candidate's application, the team orders one of the job's reports. If you are not a Hogan approver, your order waits for one.
3. Read the report
HireBest emails the candidate a link. When they finish, the report appears on their application, next to your interview evidence.
