The Secret to Great Talent

PXT Select™ makes the very human decisions about hiring simpler and smarter by filling the gap between the resume and the interview. It provides organizations and hiring managers with actionable objective data about candidates in a simple to understand format that can help to interview better and hire smarter.

The PXT assessments measure how well an individual fits specific jobs in your organization. The “job matching” feature of the PXT is unique, enabling you to evaluate an individual relative to the qualities required to successfully perform in a specific job. It is used throughout the employee life cycle for selection, on-boarding, managing, and strategic workforce planning.

PXT Select is a multiple-choice, online assessment that measures the candidate’s cognitive abilities (thinking style), behavioral traits, and interests – three areas that impact an individual’s approach to situations in the workplace. In order to maximize the assessment’s precision with the fewest number of questions, the PXT Select assessment uses adaptive testing, meaning the system successively selects questions based on what it knows about the candidate from their previous responses. From the candidate’s perspective, the difficulty of the exam tailors itself to their level of ability. No two candidates will have the exact same assessment experience.

PURPOSE: Taking the Guesswork out of your HIRING PROCESS, your Coaching Program, your Succession Planning Program, Onboarding, and your Leadership Development Program

Understanding a person’s work style is not easy. But it is possible! We help you design a selection process using the PXT Select™ assessment, providing you with a proven method to determine if the candidate fits the position and culture of your organization. This helps avoid costly hiring mistakes!

Using reliable, scientifically-developed data allows you to make more informed hiring and promotion decisions. PXT Select’s personalized feedback and reports help relieve the pressure and stress of not fully knowing what makes a person tick. Using this process allows you to enhance your hiring process but it doesn’t stop there. Our system also gives you support from onboarding to succession planning, moving through the entire life-cycle of the employee. Whether you want to make the right hiring decision, understand interpersonal interactions, or bring your team to the highest level of performance, these proven tools offer you a framework for success.
