Job Benchmarking - Matching the Right Candidate to the Right Job


Effective employee selection and hiring is a key element of employee retention and reducing employee turnover.

Is your Job Mismatch Problem costing you hundreds of thousands of dollars annually?

We can help.

One of the most effective ways to increase hiring success and avoid the job mismatch problem in your organization is through the use of a Job Benchmark and job match testing. The Rainmaker Group's Job Benchmarking process identifies the traits and qualities that an ideal candidate needs to be successful in a particular position. Our Job Benchmark will then serve as a standard to compare potential new hires against.

The Rainmaker Group Job Benchmark Process

First: Let the Job Speak!

To get a true Job Benchmark, you must know what the job needs to be done well. The job must "communicate" or "talk". The first step is to determine the "Key Accountabilities" of the job.

  • Why does the job exist?
  • What knowledge is needed?
  • What couldn't be done without it?
The job benchmarking process begins by compiling a list of "key accountabilities" for the targeted job. The key accountabilities are the critical business goals and successes the job position is responsible for. Once defined these key accountabilities serve as the foundation for producing a TriMetrix® Job Report.

The Trimetrix Job Matching Report is your job benchmark. It provides a guideline for the specific talents necessary for successful performance of the benchmarked job.

The Job Report is based on a unique 37 factor analysis which identifies the job's talent requirements in three distinct talent categories: rewards/culture, behavioral traits, and job attributes.

Second: Assess The Talentjob benchmarking will bring hard data and facts to your employee selection decisions
If you've ever conducted a job interview you'll probably agree that you are never quite sure what you are going to get. The candidate seemed great and said everything you wanted to hear so you hired him/her. Two months later you realize the new employee isn't performing as expected or as promised.

What you really needed was an unbiased insight into the candidate's Values(what motivates them), Behaviors(how they will act), and Attributes(What skills can they bring to the organization)

All of this information can be easily gathered and processed with an online personality assessment profile and reported in an easy to read Trimetrix Talent Report. This report will provide a summary of the candidate's personal talents as they relate to the talents and skills identified for successful job performance in the Trimetrix Job Report.
