A great interview isn't proof. Many people can impress for thirty minutes and still not be responsible, reliable or productive once hired. So don't gamble with your team, and don't trade quality for speed. There are no shortcuts to the right person. Verify results Measure PERSONALITY Understand MOTIVATION ## How Performia works We help you build your team by putting the right people in the right jobs. ### 1. Attract attract the right type of job candidates, ### 2. Evaluate tests and online interviews in over 25 languages ### 3. Select help you select from these the most desirable ones by way of tests and interviews, and ### 4. Onboard give you appropriate insights on how to best train the ones you select, and ### 5. Establish pointers on how your new hires will be most effectively utilized and integrated in to your company. The famous Performia “cart” ## Every company has these five people. The real question is whether you can tell them apart before you hire, not months later. Learning to see the difference is what a Team Builder does, and it is what Performia trains you to do. ### The Real Trouble-Maker Works hard to look indispensable while producing little real output. They often win the trust of key people, which makes them genuinely hard to spot. **If you hire one:** Ongoing stress and inefficiency. At worst, the quiet breakdown of the team itself. ### The Potential Trouble-Maker Delivers good results at times, then undoes them with a careless mistake. Mood swings are common, and they become a recurring candidate for replacement. **If you hire one:** Unpredictability. A running mix of pleasant and unpleasant surprises. ### The Not-Willing Doer When closely supervised, does what's required. The moment the manager steps away, the effort drops and the initiative disappears. **If you hire one:** Constant monitoring, just to be sure they earn their salary. ### The Willing Doer When they know what to do, they work actively. They let themselves be directed, their performance is stable, and with the right support it keeps improving. **If you hire one:** A reliable, steady, dependable contributor, and a real foundation to build on. ### The Performer (The one you want) Takes full responsibility, brings ideas and moves things forward on their own initiative. Accounts for most of the team's real production. **If you hire one:** A big relief. Things speed up and results grow, even when you're not in the room. ## What do our clients say about us? Since 2001 26+ countries 25+ languages Google & Clutch > “It was a wonderful and very beneficial seminar for me.” — Nikola · HR administrator > “The best training in recent years!” — Martin · Manager > “I particularly like the categories: Performer, Doer, Trouble-Maker. This is genuinely helpful in identifying staff.” — Performance Hiring attendee · Performia Australia > “I've become more determined and confident, and I worry less. My realisation: good communication can be learned.” — Communication course participant · Performia Hungary > “The Performia Personality Test allows our HR department to send email to candidates so they can do online tests for aptitude, intelligence and personality to ensure that they fit our organization well. We can also create our own work-based tests using this platform. Online testing saves time, prevents us from hiring people who don't make it during 90 days of trial and keeps our organization as efficient as possible without losing valuable time that would prevent our fast expansion. Highly recommended for all entrepreneurs!” — S.S. · Founder and CEO > “We have been using Performia for many years. Pre-employment tests are critical in hiring good employees, and Performia is by far the best pre-employment service. The evaluations are so complete and easy to understand, and the tests give us all the information we request in our interview process. Using Performia has given us confidence in our hiring process because we feel that if we miss something they will definitely find it. We believe that Performia has protected us from hiring individuals who may have been harmful to our organization. Performia helps us protect our corporate culture, our customers and our business by giving us insight into a candidate's true personality and productive qualities. If you do not use pre-employment tests, you should definitely start with it.” — ON. · Managing Partner Find out how you can benefit from Performia.
