A well-documented study,
published in Harvard Business Review
concludes that "Job Match" is by far the most reliable predictor
of effectiveness on the job. The study considered many factors including
the age, sex, race, education and experience of approximately 300,000 subjects.
It evaluated their job performance and found no significant statistical
differences, except in the area of "Job Match."
The conclusion:
"It's
not experience that counts or college degrees or other accepted factors;
success
hinges on a fit with the job."
The only reliable method
for evaluating "Job Match" is with a properly designed assessment
instrument, capable of measuring the essential job-related characteristics
particular to each specific job. Profiles
International has assessments designed for this purpose.
