Hire your next applicant based on what matters most, their judgment. No matter who you are, in order to be successful, you must have and use good judgment. Judgment is the primary driver of our decisions, choices and actions; it is more important than personality or even intellect. In fact, personality and intellect have little, if any, correlation to success. Sure, at times a pleasing personality or high intellect helps, but success requires an ability to make successful decisions–and we do that through our judgment. Judgment is neither abstract nor arbitrary. Judgment can be measured, understood and improved. Judgment has specific components and a defined structure. Athena Assessment Inc. has worked with hundreds of companies, big and small, to improve their hiring processes, helping them find employees with good judgment who will “fit” within their workforce. We’ve also coached doctors, nurses, fortune 500 executives, small business owners, ambassadors, congressmen, movie stars, teachers, military veterans, engineers, athletes, artists, priests, celebrities, laborers, homemakers, bankers, college students, pilots, mechanics, prisoners, coaches, retirees, wandering souls and more. We can help you too. Better Hiring Decisions begin when your applicants complete our pre-employment assessment. You will know who is a good fit for your company, and who is not. Additionally, our reports help guide each interview–explaining what to ask and where to probe. Applicant strengths and weaknesses are identified. Our assessment is simple to use, but extremely powerful. It is based on a complex algorithm using advanced statistical techniques that measure judgment. It is quick (less than 30 minutes), accurate and predictive. In fact, the original work was nominated for the Nobel Prize.
