Behavioural profiling is an important tool which can be used as part of the recruitment process.

Aside from technical skills, experience and the business case, any senior recruit needs to be able to fit easily into the culture of your organisation.

Behavioural profiling helps you to assess whether this individual will fit in.

The specification process at the outset of a project can include the preparation of a behavioural benchmark setting out the types of behaviour you want from this recruit. Candidates can then be profiled and those profiles compared with the benchmark.

This gives you objective information about the behaviour of the candidates against what you said you wanted.

A hugely useful tool in recruiting.
