Behavioral profiles in sourcing and recruiting as part of a hiring process
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method of selecting potential hires for progression through a hiring process, comprising:
- selecting at least one performance indicator for a position;
obtaining the at least one performance indicator for a plurality of incumbents in the position;
surveying a group of the plurality of incumbents, the group of the plurality of incumbents including both high performers and low performers relative to the at least one performance indicator;
generating, by a processor, an optimal profile for the position based upon the incumbent survey and the at least one performance indicator of at least some of the group of the plurality of incumbents, wherein the at least some of the group of the plurality of incumbents includes both high performers and low performers relative to the at least one performance indicator;
generating, by a processor, a candidate profile of a potential hire based on a survey administered to the potential hire;
comparing, by a processor, the candidate profile of the potential hire with the optimal profile for the position to determine a result for the potential hire; and
determining whether to progress the potential hire to a next stage in the hiring process based upon the result.

Abstract
A method of selecting potential hires for progression through a hiring process is provided. The method comprises selecting at least one performance indicator for a position, obtaining the at least one performance indicator for a plurality of incumbents in the position, and placing each incumbent in the plurality of incumbents along a performance continuum according to their performance indicator. The method also comprises surveying incumbents from at least both halves of the performance continuum, generating an ideal profile for the position based upon the incumbent survey and the at least one performance indicator of the incumbents, using a survey to generate a candidate profile of a potential hire, comparing the candidate profile of the potential hire with the ideal profile to determine a result for the potential hire, and determining whether to progress the potential hire to a next stage in the hiring process based upon the result.

8. A computer-implemented system for selecting potential hires for progression through a hiring process, comprising:
a non-transitory computer readable medium comprising a set of instructions executable by a processor, the set of instructions executable to configure the processor to; receive a survey completed by a potential hire for a position and a group of a plurality of incumbents in the position, the group of the plurality of incumbents including both high performers and low performers relative to an identified performance indicator; generate a candidate profile of the potential hire generated by analyzing the survey completed by the potential hire; generate an optimal profile for the position by analyzing the surveys completed by at least some of the group of the plurality of incumbents, wherein the at least some of the group of the plurality of incumbents includes both high performers and low performers relative to the identified performance indicator; and generate a result for the potential hire by comparing the candidate profile of the potential hire with the optimal profile for the position; wherein a determination of whether to progress the potential hire is made based upon the result. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A computer-implemented method of determining an optimal range for a behavioral characteristic for a position at a company, comprising:
-
receiving a completed survey from a group of a plurality of incumbents in a position, the survey comprising a group of two or more items, the group of items corresponding to the behavioral characteristic, and the group of the plurality of incumbents including both high performers and low performers relative to an identified performance indicator; plotting results of the survey for at least some of the group of plurality of incumbents on a continuum, wherein the at least some of the group of the plurality of incumbents includes both high performers and low performers relative to the identified performance indicator; determining, by a processor, an optimal range for the behavioral characteristic based upon the results of the high performers; and determining, by a processor, where the optimal range falls on the continuum; wherein the optimal range is between but not inclusive of the endpoints of the continuum. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18)
