PASS FAQ
Q: What is PASS?
A: PASS (Profile Assessment Selection System) is a complete, robust hiring system that combines four proven elements essential to recruiting a world-class workforce:
1) Competency Modeling, 2) Structured Interview Formats 3) The Rembrandt Portrait® Personality Assessment, and 4) Behavioral-Event Interviewing.
Q: What is Competency Modeling?
A: Success is no accident. Your top performers share certain personality traits that assist them in performing at peak levels. RembrandtAdvantage conducts a top/bottom study identifying the qualities of this group thereby creating a "top-performance model"… a benchmark composed of the personality characteristics that lead to success in your organization. After prospective employees interact with Rembrandt Portrait, their results are compared against this model. In this way, science-rather than emotions and fleeting impressions-is used to build your workforce. Bottom-line: you'll know instantly if your prospective hires have the potential to succeed before you extend an offer… or invest more time interviewing.
Q: How will my company benefit from Structured Interview formats?
A: Here's an example: Mary looks like a sharp sales person. She talks like one too. She has a super smile… and a dynamite resume. But all through the interview, one question remained unanswered: "Can she sell?" That's because this question, and many others, go unasked... yet Mary gets the job! Why? Because managers often hire on "gut" feelings, pleasant first impressions, or well-crafted cover letters… rather than interviewing to uncover the skills, knowledge, and abilities needed to perform at a superior level.
Using a structured process for selecting new employees, your company can move from instinctive, to more reliable scientific hiring. In addition, structured interviews assure that all your candidates are asked the same questions, positioning your selection system to meet federal and local employment laws.
Q: What exactly is "Behavioral-Event Interviewing?"
A: Past performance is the best indicator of future behavior. So instead of relying on a candidate's resume and qualifications, Behavioral-Event Interviewing encourages prospective employees to provide accurate behavioral descriptions of real-life situations, on-the-job challenges, and goals attained.
Statements might include:
Think about the most difficult situation you have experienced in trying to actively influence others. Walk me through the process you took, describing in detail each step.
We don't always close every sale. Share with me a time when the selling process was not successful. What happened? What was your response?
With PASS, unlike other hiring systems, you won't be given information and then left hanging, not knowing what to do next. Instead, you'll be provided with targeted questions that probe specific competency areas highlighted by your candidate's Rembrandt Portrait for closer examination. PASS not only empowers you to interview more successfully, but also more efficiently. That's because it helps you quickly get to the heart of the matter-"Is this candidate right for the job and our company?", without irrelevant questions and unfocused probing, so common to some other hiring systems now available.
