How Does A Behavioural Profile Help Manage Employees?

The McQuaig method is a style of behavioural profiling designed to help find and keep the best employees for your company. Using web-based behavioural assessments, the McQuaig method tests employees on a variety of skills. It involves a three step system that locates the best and the brightest, and it can be used not only for assessing new hires, but is also strongly recommended for employee management and internal promotions. The system works as follows: • Define Job Requirements – A better way to know the actual role the candidate will need to play, this survey is filled out by supervisors and those that worked in the role. • Assess Employees – For companies looking to hire great applicants and manage their new hires well, this survey helps provide a behavioural profile of candidates to help you best understand and manage your staff. • Retain the Best and Brightest – This survey is a style of self-assessment for current employees that teaches them what they’re doing well and where they can improve, among other things. For the purposes of managing your employees successfully, all three are important. But as a recruitment company, our most important tool is the second step – assessing your new hires. How Does the Behavioral Profile Assess Employees? This section of the McQuaig behavioural method involves having the employee fill out the “Word Survey.” This survey is a tested method of behavioural profiling that involves asking interview and job related behavioral questions and analyzing them into an easy to understand report that shows qualities such as a leadership profile, assessment of how well the applicant fits the job description, management overview, motivation factors, and more. The report provides easy to understand graphs that make it simple for managers to understand their employees’ needs, and gives your business the opportunity to succeed through well managed staff. The profile also takes the human element out of the equation, because while managers can be well trained, far too often the supervisory response is affected by the personality and opinions of the manager rather than the needs of the employee. These profiles are conducted online, so the manager does not introduce any of their own biases into the equation of the profile. Several studies have shown how beneficial the McQuaig Behavioural Method is for improving employee management, which is why at Recruit Shop, we can not only provide these profiles for your applicants – we are also offering one free McQuaig Behavioural Profile if you hire through us this month.
