THE McQUAIG WORD SURVEY® (assessing candidates)

What is The Word Survey?

The Word Survey is an on-line self-assessment technique that measures an individual’s underlying temperament and behavior patterns – as well as his/her morale and adjustment on the job.

How is it used?

Use The Word Survey to:

	Learn as much as you can about an individual’s work habits before you make a job offer.
	Understand the temperament and behavior patterns that candidates will bring to the job: for instance, their level of urgency, people focus, sales orientation or independence.
	Get a list of focused interview questions based on the candidate’s own profile.

What are the benefits?

	No more guesswork: Understanding a candidate’s temperament greatly improves your ability to predict on-the-job performance. You reduce reliance on "gut feeling" when making hiring decisions.
	Improve your interview process: Hiring managers can use customized behavioral interview questions and probes to increase objectivity and consistency in the interview process. By focusing on behavioral factors that are relevant to success, managers use their time more effectively and make more-informed decisions.
