Talent Acquisition Solutions – Higher quality of candidates, faster.

Getting good talent isn’t easy – and getting just the right talent for your organization is even harder. Future performance is the key issue when considering a candidate. How do you predict culture fit, engagement and performance and hire candidates that will become your star employees?

Today’s job candidates are in the driver’s seat. Like consumers, they expect companies to engage with them on their own terms. In fact, recruiting has become marketing, which means you have to compete for the best talent by creating engaging, relevant experiences. To differentiate yourself and to attract your ideal candidates, your recruiting methods must evolve into a marketing process and the role of the recruiter must go beyond just relationship builder to marketer. Your recruiters need new skills and new tools so they can source, attract, select, hire and onboard the right talent you need to grow your business.

The IBM® Kenexa® Talent Acquisition Suite is an integrated suite of recruitment solutions augmented by proven consumer marketing tools and practices to help you build proactive talent pools of best-fit talent, market to and nurture candidates, deliver an exceptional candidate experience on any device and get your new hires productive quickly. IBM’s depth and breadth of behavioral sciences and consultative services expertise help clients apply science and precision to workforce decisions and processes.

Assessment – predicting performance is what we do

Behavioral assessments

We offer targeted assessments that uncover people’s innate talents. Our Behavioral Assessments reliably measure personality traits and behaviors, which can be applied in candidate selection, development and evaluation. Job-related, balanced assessments identify candidates’ strengths and development needs with proven validity and no bias toward protected groups.

Skills assessments

Our Skills Assessments identify the acquired skills, education, background and experience of each individual. This series of assessments includes abilities tests, reasoning tests and skills tests specific to a particular job category. These are suitable for virtually all candidates, regardless of experience. In addition, our contemporary range of employee assessments helps you sift large volumes of candidates quickly and easily – helping reduce time-to-hire and enhancing the efficiency of your recruitment process.

Culture fit assessments

Our Culture Fit Assessments are designed to reveal how well a candidate fits within the walls of your organization. These are ideal for high volume recruiting and can be used for multiple job families across multiple industries. They can help your organization greatly decrease turnover and enhance employee commitment and job satisfaction, increasing the efficiency and overall performance of your organization.

Organizational development – helping you translate employee feedback into business performance

Employee engagement surveys

We measure what matters at your company to help improve your business. Our Employee Surveys are designed to work the way you work, ask the kinds of questions you need to ask and then focus on the key items that will help you create a more engaged and productive workforce. Because when your workforce is engaged, your people work harder, stay longer, care more and find more gratification in helping your company succeed. While other companies can conduct surveys, few can actually make your company better. We stand by our commitment to help you improve your company by translating employee feedback into business performance.

Driving business outcomes through behavioral science

At the heart of what we do is who we are. We are one of the only companies that can predict performance, measure performance and help enable high performance. The reason is that we bring together each area of content – from our Employee Engagement Surveys to our Assessments to our Leadership Solutions.

Learning

Ongoing learning, training and development are important for improving the knowledge, skills and abilities of your workforce. Knowledge transfer to learn a task is important but skills transfer to develop traits such as adaptability, problem solving, and critical thinking are key to fostering a workforce that is constantly growing and reinventing itself.

Our solutions help develop a learning culture where people have the knowledge and ability to solve critical issues and prepare for the future. They enable people to make better informed decisions and respond quickly to business needs. Our solutions cover formal, informal and social learning, and include a solution that helps develop engaging content in a cost- and time-efficient manner.
