What is a BELBIN Job Comparison Report?

How does a recruiter figure out well in advance, if the new hire will come in like a breath of fresh air, or a bull in a china shop?

In today’s fast paced and unforgiving workplace, every  ‘misfit’ means huge losses in time, productivity, morale, resources, and above all opportunity.

There is a plethora of tools out there to measure ‘eligibility’ criteria of a new hire – such as qualifications, skills, experience. BELBIN differs from them all, because it measures the seemingly elusive softer aspects, the ‘suitability’ criteria, which include aptitude, temperament, behavior.

A BELBIN Job Comparison Report predicts 'suitability'.. the match or ‘fit’ between:

- The behavioral demands of a job, as scoped in the BELBIN Job Report and

- The behavioral preferences of the prospective hire, through the BELBIN Individual Report

Done on the state-of-the-art INTERPLACE System, the BELBIN Job Comparison Report reveals areas of potential fit and the lack of it, before signing-off on a new hire, whether such hiring be internal or external. 

Why a BELBIN Job Comparison Report?

The BELBIN Job Comparison Report can help recruiters and hiring managers get better at ‘hiring right the first time’ by addressing typical challenges, such as:

• Seeing through potential opportunities and challenges that could follow the hiring
• For the same job, the challenges could be different for different candidates. How does HR get to be proactive in preparing and designing development experiences for people who may get hired for over-riding eligibility considerations?
• How does the recruiter see through and beyond the biases of self-observation that is so inherent in a trait-based tools used for recruitment?
• Can the recruitment process be of value to the prospective hire, irrespective of the process outcomes?

The BELBIN Job Comparison Report serves to enhance the effectiveness of the entire recruitment process, in its unparalleled capability to measure ‘suitability’ and predict on the job performance.

When should I make a BELBIN Job Comparison Report?

The BELBIN INTERPLACE System generates a BELBIN Job Comparison Report, by matching a BELBIN Job Report with a BELBIN Individual Report.  For both internal and external recruitments, this it is best done:

• After a preliminary interview / evaluation that confirms ‘eligibility’ criteria are met.
• Before a final interview, so that the conversation could help both the candidate and the recruiter understand the ‘suitability’ criteria in context, and determine why the relationship will work-out or why not, what could be coping strategies, and the trade-offs for both parties.

So, let’s make BELBIN happen!
