TRAITS Psychometric Assessment Tool

TRAITS

TRAITS is a world-class psychometric assessment tool for hiring, managing and growing your team.

Understanding Personality and Work

Align Personality with Role to Hire, Manage, and Retain High-Performing People

Personality impacts how someone will perform in a job.

If an employee is naturally impatient and easily distracted and you give them a job that’s repetitive, they will struggle. Instead of sitting at their desk they will leave their work station. They will engage in other activities. They will always struggle to do the job you hired them to do.

When you hire someone who is patient and methodical and give them something repetitive to do, they do it.

Through the simplicity of this example is the hidden insight staring us right in the face. Performance happens when the personality of the job matches the personality of the employee.

Testimonials

Client Experiences That Speak for Themselves

In short, in my long career I have used just about every tool in HR that could be used. Concord Consulting’s suite of profiling tools remain the engine that drives my success and continue to make a genuine and positive difference to those I interact with in my consulting work.

Carmel Macpherson

Role Affinity

Without the deep human behavioural analytics that came with Concord’s survey, we would not be as far along in our growth trajectory as we are today. I would certainly recommend Concord Consulting to any company who is motivated to succeed in their growth with ‘right people in the right positions doing the right things right’.

Isabelle Graveline

President & CEO at Kilmarnock Enterprise

We made the decision to only hire candidates who were a match for our job models based on the TRAITS Assessment results. As a result, we saw the turnover rate on new hires greatly improve. This is a dramatic change for us and TRAITS is a big reason why this significant turnover reduction has happened.

Joe Laratta

Corporate recruiter at s.i. systems

In addition to TRAITS we examined several other systems. The reasons for choosing TRAITS were: Internal assessments have consistently put the accuracy of the reports in the 8–10 out of 10 range, the information is relatively brief and to the point as more extensive reporting is not always useful, the visual aspect of the graphs give the profiles additional depth and enable the report to be read quickly.

Michael Scott

Chairman & CEO at Precision Biologic

We approached the Concord Consulting group to help us find a solution to combat some turnover in a specific role. With the help provided by the Concord team along with the TRAITS Tool, we have now developed a new standard for recruiting as well as employee development.
