What is a BELBIN Job Report?

Square pegs in round holes are sure to damage the peg, the hole, and the entire mechanism this match is meant to support.

First things first. Did the Recruiter know the exact profile of the hole to be filled? 

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 Report scans and articulates the behavioral contributions that best serve the job's purpose.  In doing so, it tangibilizes in advance, the softer specs that often surface when it's too late..

Why a BELBIN Job Report?

The BELBIN Job Report can help recruiters and hiring managers get better at ‘hiring right the first time’ by firstly scoping the softer demands of the job:

• What are the potential softer challenges inherent in the assignment?
• How can a Job Description be articulated differently to include the behavioral preferences necessary to succeed on the job?
• How valuable could this be to recruiters, interviewers and candidates?

The BELBIN Job Report strikes at the root of the entire recruitment process, in its unparalleled capability to articulate ‘suitability’ criteria, so imperative to enable search and selection of the right candidate.

When should I make a BELBIN Job Report?

The BELBIN Job Report is best done as the first step of the Recruitment Process – both internal and external.  It holds the key to a comprehensive Job Description that specifies not just ‘eligibility’, but also ‘suitability’ criteria.

So, let’s make BELBIN happen!
