No Cost. No Obligation. It's our way of introducing you to the PXT Select.
If you have ever struggled to find qualified candidates, the PXT Select can help!
Without a doubt, this is the biggest challenge faced by organizations in the new decade. There are no longer enough qualified candidates available for the number of jobs available.
We can help you solve this problem by using the PXT Select Performance Model for any position to write a job posting that will attract qualified candidates because the job you are describing perfectly matches their behaviors, interests, and motivations.
Interviewing takes practice and experience, but most hiring managers only interview a few times each year.
Even experienced HR professionals can benefit from the targeted interview questions generated by the PXT Select when it compares a candidate to the requirements of the job.
You can still use your existing process and questions, just add the PXT Select interview questions to make sure you explore all of the potential strengths and weaknesses that will impact the success of the candidate.
Even better than hiring high quality new people is keeping the ones you already have!
Unfortunately, your best people are the ones who are most likely to leave because they are highly qualified and being recruited by your competitors.
The PXT Select can help you retain existing top performers by providing team optimization, coaching advice, career pathing and succession planning. It's the first complete employee lifecycle assessment and everything is included.
As you know, sourcing, recruiting, hiring, and training is more expensive than ever before, so it's critically important to reduce turnover by making sure that every hire fits their position.
PXT Select Job fit technology reduces turnover because when someone "fits" their job, they don't think about leaving and they become impervious to headhunters – even if they are offered more money.
And... they work harder, are more productive, and don't waste management time.
People are complex and challenging to manage, aren’t they?
Fortunately, the PXT Select can help. Coaching and Management
reports which reveal how to best manage each person in your
organization are built-in.
Use them to help managers to get off to a strong start with
new employees or to improve their relationship with individuals they are
already managing.
What if you could predict how well someone will fit into an existing team – or solve current team problems?
The PXT Select Team Report will help your team leaders and team members understand their similarities and differences so they can address the group’s dynamics in a constructive way.
The Team Report is included at no cost, and can also be used for planning and selection to see how a new team member might affect team dynamics.
The PXT Select Leadership Report gives you invaluable insight into a candidate’s leadership potential and their approach to meeting leadership challenges.
It helps hiring managers understand how a candidate leads by revealing an individual’s key characteristics and their personal strengths and challenges as they relate to six universal Leadership Skills.
Featuring tailored questions and tips on ‘what to listen for’ with each candidate, this report gives you a meaningful edge in selecting your next leaders.
Want to get the most out of everyone?
The best way is to take advantage of the natural strengths of each person while minimizing any problems created by their natural behaviors.
Unfortunately, few managers have the training and experience needed to to do this. Many times managers know that something is wrong, but they don’t know what it is.
To solve this problem, the PXT Select creates customized coaching advice that can be used by any manager to solve challenges and take advantage of natural strengths… and get the most out of everyone.

Use the PXT Select Job Fit and customized interview questions features to understand and explore the strengths and weaknesses of the candidate.

Because managing is a daily activity, the Manager/ Employee report compares the natural behaviors of the manager and the employee and provides actionable management advice based upon the relationship.
The career development and succession planning reports give you objective information about how to maximize each team member's contribution to the organization.

Each Of These PXT Select Reports Are Included At No Additional Cost
A unique feature of the PXT Select system is that, once a person has completed the assessment and been scored, any of these reports can be generated for that person at no additional cost.
Use for: Hiring
The PXT Select™ Comprehensive Selection Report is the main report you will use for candidate selection. When considering a potential hire, always start with this report because it provides an easy-to-read and thorough view of the candidate data.
The report is organized into three main parts: Candidate Fit, information about the Performance Model, and customized Interview Questions.
Use for: Sales Hiring
Designed specifically for sales positions, the Sales Selection Report gives you the same comprehensive analysis and customized interview questions tailored for sales positions. It also includes these additional critical sales practices:
Use for: Hiring, coaching, development
One of the challenges of identifying leaders with the potential for success in your organization is looking beyond their job experience to truly understand the approach they will take to guiding their teams and shaping their organizations.
The PXT Select™ Leadership Report uses and individual’s PXT Select results to shed light on these six leadership skills and provide insight into how the candidate might confront the complexities of a leadership role.
Use for: Hiring, coaching, development, problem solving
The Manager-Employee Report compares an individual’s results on the Behavioral Traits scales with those of a particular manager.
It helps build an understanding of how the manager approaches the job of supervising others and how an employee prefers to be managed, allowing the manager and employee to build a more effective relationship.
The report is frequently used as an onboarding or coaching tool to help the manager and employee work more effectively together.
Managers often use this to get off to a strong start with new employees or to improve their relationship with individuals they are already managing.
Use for: Hiring, coaching, development, problem solving
The Coaching Report provides an individual’s assessment results as well as insights and coaching tips about how he or she may approach different aspects of the position.
Use this report for a “deeper dive” into how the person will perform in the position as well as advice on how to manage them in ways that will compensate for any challenges they may have meeting the requirements of the position.
Use for: Hiring, coaching, development, problem solving
The Team Report helps team leaders and team members understand and address the group’s dynamics in a constructive way.
The report compare the behavioral traits of multiple employees and provides narrative feedback about what those results may mean for a team.
It is designed so that each team member can receive a personalized report, with the feedback written to him or her, rather than a single team report where the narrative is written solely to the manager.
The report can be used in the selection process to see how a new employee might affect team dynamics, and it’s often used for onboarding or development, to help the members of a team understand their similarities and differences.

Here Are Additional Features Included In The PXT Select System
Find out how the PXT Select can work for you and your organization.
The PXT Select Adds Additional Objective Information To Your Existing Process
There is no need to change your existing hiring system.
The largest companies add the PXT Select to the very beginning of their hiring process and have candidates complete it as part of the initial application process because it helps to remove subjectivity from the initial selection process.
But, for budget reasons, most companies use the PXT Select between the first interview and the second interview.
This means that that you will use only between two and five assessments per hire at an investment of only a few hundred dollars - a great investment compared to the cost of a bad hire.
Real Employee - Not An Actor
Meet Bill
Bill wasn’t exactly a “bad” employee, it’s just that he was very inconsistent and didn't get along well with others, and these aren't good qualities in a salesperson.
And... after he was hired, he developed a reputation as being “negative" – the type of person who always saw what was wrong with a situation and why things wouldn’t work.
We thought that Bill would be a superstar at sales because he had years of experience and a good track record, but he wasn't - at least not for us.
It's our experience with Bill that led us to use the PXT Select with every hire because the cost of hiring and training him was far more than the investment in a few assessments.
