Selection Report: Placing The Right People Into The Right Jobs

DMS measures shortlist interview candidates to a job pattern customized to your position requirements. The Selection Reports contains job suitability scores, behavioral-based interview questions and a snapshot of each of the shortlist candidates containing information on compensation preference, importance of work, tolerance for risk, and comfort with change.

After hiring, DMS works with the manager on getting the new team member up to speed quickly and using their potential. When you match people to the right job you gain productivity and job-satisfaction; while diminishing stress, and costly turnover.

Coaching Report: Focuses on Development

Self knowledge is a powerful starting point for development, especially when the new awareness is focused on preparation for meeting future job challenges and opportunities. DMS measures the coaching candidate to their present or a future position. The Coaching Report identifies the individual's traits in relationship to corporate objectives and job requirements as well as information on what motivates them, how they view their world and how to help them transition. An entire section of the report focuses on tangible development recommendations. DMS works with the coaching candidate and optionally their manager or mentor to work out strategies and a work plan for acquiring the earmarked talents and abilities.

Succession Report: Strategic Deployment

Thinking of an organization from the perspective of what it needs to survive and thrive when the reigns are handed over, brings into question all of the key roles and functions. “How to best deploy existing personnel” and “what areas would benefit from competencies not currently within the organization” are typically part of the consideration. To meet this challenge, DMS works with the key decision maker to look at questions of organizational structure and to scope the positions impacted. Job pattern are then customized for the position requirements and the comparison of existing personnel or new candidates to strategic requirements can begin. The Succession Report identifies a job match percentage for each position and provides content for succession discussions. DMS further helps in the process by guiding the key decision makers through the implication of certain decisions.

Team Report: Enhance Teamwork and Team Potential

Turning a group into a team takes some understanding of team dynamics, the ability to structure the environment to foster the right types of behavior and an appreciation of the contribution of each individual. To help you in your endeavor to create or enhance teamwork, DMS proposes foot-printing the current team culture and assessing each of the members of the team. The Team Report contains data regarding the team culture and a compilation of the team's information. Individual results remain confidential. This is followed by a workshop focusing on Performance Team concepts and experiencing the tools and techniques to work better as a team.

Why Is The DMS System the Right Choice?

  • Our system meets the most stringent Canadian and U.S. laws associated with the work related use of assessments in their various applications.
  • We surpass all of the requirements set out in the 79 page Testing and Assessment: An Employer's Guide to Good Practices put out by the U.S. Department of Labour.
  • We meet the most stringent International standards set up for work related assessments.
  • Full Reliability and Validity studies are completed and available.
  • The tool we use looks at more job competency areas than any other assessment tool designed for business use. It looks at 12 personality dimensions, 3 motivation drivers, 4 areas of ability and 1 integrated validity measure. These 20 dimensions are the basis of a report that presents, in non-technical terms, where the individual is situated on each of these dimensions. Based on the report options selected, additional information designed to facilitate work related application is provided.

Most importantly . . .

  • The DMS System is not simply the results of an assessment tool. On its own, any tool simply provides data. Through feedback and coaching, we turn the data into information and action.
