Searching for the ideal candidate is a lengthy and challenging process—hiring someone that possesses the job skills, interpersonal competencies and aligns with the organization’s culture demands extensive time and resources. Technical abilities and industry experience are important factors to consider but won’t optimize the hiring process or maximize employee retention.

Birkman can help you learn about someone’s Needs, Usual Behavior, and Interests and how to help them be successful in their role.

The first few months an employee spends at a company can drastically impact their success and contribution to the team. During this time, they must learn to navigate their job responsibilities, find their unique place on the team, and adjust to an entirely new environment. Help employees find their sweet spot in the company with an onboarding process and a company culture that celebrates diversity and people's strengths.
