Predictive Index - Scientifically helping you recruit

What is it?

The Predictive Index® System is an online assessment tool, designed to support management and leadership training, particularly beneficial if used at recruitment level to define job requirements and match with potential candidates, as well as a continued learning and development support tool.

How does it work?

PI PRO – Job Profile

Successful service businesses are only as good as the staff they employ, the challenge is always how to attract and secure the right people for the right positions. We believe that to achieve the highest level of accuracy with long term retention you must first understand the behaviours you require for the role you are looking to fill. Skills, experience and personality are important but Attitude and Behaviour is going to define how successful the outcome will be and understanding both the behaviours you need for your role and matching those to candidates shortlisted will prove pivotal to your recruitment success.

Following the completion of a short questionnaire, we will provide you with detailed analyses of the behaviours your perfect candidate would need to demonstrate in order to succeed in the role you are looking to fill. The results are highly revealing, providing you with a greater insight into the behaviours needed to successfully fulfil your requirements, no longer relying solely on traditional criteria such as levels of experience, technical knowledge and personality.

Amongst other traits, the results of the PI provide detailed information about:

  • Job Characteristics                                                          
  • Decision Making
  • Pace and Variety of Activities                                    
  • Communication and Collaboration
  • Focus                                                                                  
  • Delegation and Leadership Style

PI - Personal Profile

The Personal PI assessment measures multiple aspects of personality and behaviour; the natural, preferred behavioural styles of an adult, key motivating needs and personality traits, an individual’s current level of work-related motivation, as well as observable and adapted behaviours to meet their work demands. Crucially you will not only establish whether the candidates natural behaviour is a good match for your role, you will gain a greater understanding of their potential and how to develop and communicate with individuals in a way that achieves the highest levels of performance. 

Candidates are asked to complete a 2-page, free-choice checklist, with 86 words on each page. Results are generated in the form of PI patterns that are then analysed and feedback provided to the employer to discuss suitability.

"LCA is an outstanding Company. They are honest, practical, realistic, helpful, supportive and encouraging, and they go over and beyond by matching you with the right employer. Lynn placed me in my previous job 19 years ago. Unfortunately, I was made redundant due to the effects of Covid. Lynn contacted me and put me forward to a wonderful company which offered me my dream job last week. I am so pleased with LCA; they are just a remarkable company. Over the last 19 years, we have used their services by recruiting other staff members, and we have always been happy with the candidates that have been put forward. They really get it right with matching candidates and employer. I highly recommend them as the Number one Recruitment Consultants."
