NSIGHT TALENT MATCH OVERVIEW

THE SELECTION CHALLENGE

As owners and leaders, getting the right people on your team is perhaps the most significant success factor, and one of the most difficult.

Getting it wrong costs money, time, distraction, stress, and at times legal liability.

And unfortunately, even the most experienced and conscientious among us have gotten it wrong and lived that pain.

If you are interested in being more accurate and confident in your hiring decisions, we have a set of tools that may be able to help.

NSIGHT SUCCESS ASSESSMENT

The NSight Success measures work-related and interpersonal characteristics, and is ideal for talent selection, professional development, and personal growth assessment.

It was developed over 30 years ago to fill a gap: there were few if any single assessment instruments that provided a holistic and well-rounded picture of talent and temperament.

This is still a refrain we hear from organizations and independent coaches alike: in order to get a comprehensive view of a candidate or client, typically 3 or 4 different assessments are required, which is both expensive and often difficult to coordinate and interpret.

The NSight was thus commissioned as the solution—a single tool that targets both aptitude AND personality success factors.

As part of its start-up strategy, Meridiem acquired the NSight, updated the assessment's infrastructure and user platform, built out expanded reporting, and created a certification model for licensing and distribution.

The NSight Success Assessment is the result. In the hands of a certified coach, the NSight Success points out which of a candidate's preferences and characteristics may contribute to—and which may inhibit—success in an organization.

In other words, the NSight can help you find your next rockstar and avoid your next disruptor.

NSIGHT TALENT MATCH PROCESS

The NSight Talent Match process is the latest addition to Meridiem's suite of talent management resources.

We can help you create a Success Model based upon the NSight factor framework that you can then use for screening and selecting candidates.

Success Models can be built by benchmarking high performers, by cloning individual performers, or even from scratch using our NSight Talent Selector tool.

The Talent Selector tool allows a hiring manager or HR partner to choose between a short list of behaviors to either adjust a benchmark or cloned model, or to develop a model from scratch based on the style and preferences of the manager or the need to broaden or deepen the talent of the team.

Job candidates are then assessed using the NSight Success and compared to the model, resulting in a detailed report including percentage of match and suggested interview questions for follow up.

No matter how experienced you are in interviewing and selection, the simple, evidence-based reporting in the NSight Talent Match process will raise both your confidence and accuracy exponentially.
