Using Wisnio Talent Data to Build Effective Success Profiles
Ott Niggulis
Wisnio's talent analytics platform offers a powerful suite of decision tools for hiring, succession planning, and developing high-performing teams, all grounded in robust psychometric assessments.
Using a combination of behavioral science and machine learning, the platform provides actionable talent data you need for critical hiring and development decisions:
- Hiring: Simplify hiring and team building by gaining deep insights into candidates' values, competencies, and behavioral strengths. Predict team fit, streamline the hiring process, and make faster, more informed hiring decisions.
- Team Development: Unlock team potential by providing actionable insights that enhance team dynamics and drive performance. Understand team strengths, make strategic hiring decisions, and support individual growth with personalised insights.
- Succession Planning: Develop success profiles, understand team needs, and conduct in-depth interviews to identify and prepare high-potential internal candidates for pivotal roles, ensuring a smooth leadership transition.
- Onboarding: Facilitate successful onboarding by helping new hires quickly integrate into the team, align with stakeholder expectations, and understand their strengths and development areas for a productive start.
In addition to these core use cases, the underlying talent data also offers the opportunity to create customised solutions tailored to specific needs. For example, organisations can develop Success Profiles and Hiring Scorecards by analysing assessment results of specific groups, gaining a granular understanding of unique psychometric profiles and identifying key differentiators.
One such example is our work on PE-backed CEOs/CFOs, where we used specific talent data to create Success Profiles and hiring scorecards for PE-backed companies hiring CEOs and CFOs.
Example: Decoding the PE-Backed CEO
In our whitepaper on PE-backed CEOs, we analysed the talent data of 30 CEOs leading PE-backed companies to uncover key traits that set them apart from other C-level leaders. Here are some of the key takeaways:
Proactive and Influential Leadership: CEOs in PE-backed companies are highly extraverted, which is crucial for engaging stakeholders and driving initiatives. Their ability to influence others helps garner support and align teams quickly, maintaining momentum in fast-paced environments.
Competitive Edge with a Focus on Results: With lower agreeableness scores, they are competitive, prioritising business goals over harmony. This trait aids in making tough decisions and driving organisational change, crucial for rapid value creation.
These insights demonstrate the potential of talent data to create targeted and effective Success Profiles. Similar approaches can be applied to other roles and organisational contexts to drive impactful decisions:
Company-Wide Analysis: Examine leaders from a company or a portfolio of companies to understand overall trends and their implications for the business.
Leadership Profiling: Create specific leadership profiles for a company or group to tailor development programs.
Position and Seniority Insights: Analyse the psychometric profiles of various positions and seniority levels to inform succession planning and talent development strategies.
By embracing a data-driven approach and thinking beyond traditional applications, organizations can unlock the full potential of Wisnio's platform. This allows them to gain a deeper understanding of their talent landscape, make more informed decisions, and ultimately drive greater success.
