POSITION INSIGHTS

Smarter Hiring Starts with Understanding Behavior

A Familiar (and Costly) Hiring Story (it happens all the time.)
 

A hiring manager is ecstatic about a candidate.
 

The resume is perfect. The experience checks every box.
They fly through interviews, impress the panel, and accept the offer.
 

Three months later…
that same hiring manager is in HR’s office asking,
“How do we start the termination process?”
 

Not because the person can’t do the job.
Not because they lack knowledge or experience.
 

But because:

  • “They’re too abrasive.”

  • “They don’t collaborate.”

  • “They shut down under pressure.”

  • “They’re not a culture fit.”

  •  “Their personality just isn’t working.”

 

It feels like the candidate completely changed—but really, the hiring process never measured what mattered.


This story plays out everywhere.  In fact, 46% of new hires fail within 18 months, mostly due to behavioral and personality issues—not skill gaps.

​

Position Insights exists to stop this story from repeating.

Position Insights:  The Behavioral Science Advantage in Hiring​

 

Most hiring processes evaluate skills.  Few measure how someone will actually behave on the job.  Position Insights gives you a scientific, reliable view of:


•    Who will thrive in your environment
•    How they handle stress
•    How they naturally communicate and collaborate
•    What motivates them
•    What might derail them
•    How they’ll fit with the team and the culture
 

This is the insight resumes and interviews can’t reliably provide.​​​

Why Traditional Hiring Misses the Mark


Experience and credentials matter—but they don’t tell the whole story.  Most hiring misses the behavioral dimension that determines:

 

  • Compatibility

  • Reliability

  • Pressure response

  • Interpersonal style

  • Long-term engagement

  • Culture fit

 

Meanwhile, AI has made superficial 5 to 7-minute assessments and rehearsed interview answers easier to “game.”  That means you need something deeper and more evidence-based.

What Position Insights Delivers


Position Insights provides the clarity you need to make confident decisions:


•    Who you should interview
•    Who you should hire
•    What questions to ask
•    What red flags to probe
•    How this person will show up every day
•    What will keep them engaged and retained
 

We define what success looks like for the role—then scientifically compare candidates to that profile.
 

No guessing.
No bias.
No surprises months later.

Four Steps to Hiring.png

How It Works​

 

1.  Screen candidates as usual.  

Your ATS and recruiters continue to evaluate skills, experience, and qualifications.  If you use a 5-minute assessment in this step, continue to use it.

 

2.  We define what “great” behavior looks like.   

A brief survey completed by one or more key people helps us build a Behavioral Job Profile outlining:

​

  • Behavioral requirements

  • Values and motivators

  • Culture and team fit


3. Candidates take our in-depth behavioral assessment.  

We deploy, manage, and analyze everything.


4. You receive clear, actionable insight.  

​

  • Behavioral fit scores against job targets

  • Strengths and risk areas

  • Where they align (and don’t) with the job

  • Retention motivators

  • Targeted interview questions tailored to each candidate and the role

  • Guidance on what to listen and look for

 

You get practical direction—not just data.
