The Cost of Hiring Mistakes
In key jobs, hiring mistakes are expensive. The American Management Association says that the cost of turning over an employee ranges from 50% to 200% of their annual salary. In addition to the business costs there are the personal costs of having to deal with and possibly terminate a poor performer.

How the PXT Select Helps You See the Whole Candidate and Make Better Hiring Decisions
- Understand the Applicant Better – The PXT Select helps you understand the applicant far better than you would with just a resume and a standard interview. You learn about their verbal and math skills and reasoning ability, which translates into decision-making and problem-solving skills. You see where they stand on nine behavioral dimensions, so you get a good picture of who they really are. And you learn about their interests, so you can see if the job is likely to be something they enjoy.
- Compare the Applicant to the Profile of a Successful Performer in That Job – The PXT Select gives you the profile of a successful performer in that job based on validated research into previous past performers in that position. The profile can be adapted to fit the specific requirements of the job in your organization.
- Get More Value from the Interview – When you understand the applicant and the profile of the successful performer, you can use your interview time more effectively to understand the applicant’s strengths and probe into areas where the applicant may not fit the profile of successful performers. The PXT Select provides interview questions and suggestions on what to listen for in the applicant’s answers.
