Soft skills play a critical role in hiring and when mismatched with the employer, more often than not result in mishires. To close this soft skills gap, people leaders need to better understand the behavioral traits of not only their candidates, but their organization. In this guide, you’ll learn what incomplete behavior data looks like, four key types to measure, and the current tools and techniques that make this a quantitative process.

All people leaders want to hire great talent, but most don’t have a holistic picture of what a successful employee looks like. Predictive talent models can change that by analyzing highly successful employees at an organization and highlighting the attributes that make them most likely to stay and perform. In this guide, you’ll learn the nuts and bolts of predictive talent models, what the benefits are, the importance of behavior data, and how to get started building your own model.

Calculating and tracking Quality of Hire not only helps you to hire more effective people in less time, but it also helps discover your own org culture, and track the effects of recruiting on the business.
