The Pre-Hire Candidate Fit Assessment is an incredibly inexpensive risk mitigation tool before hiring an executive who, should they not succeed – through fault of their own or their new team – will exact a high price. We meet with the hiring manager position stakeholders prior to the interview with the goal of understanding the requirements for the job, the organizational culture, and the personality of the hiring manager. Rarely is a candidate without some areas of less-good fit but identifying those risk areas and naming them with recommended solutions can make the difference between success and failure. With many of our clients, the newly-hired candidate continues On-Boarding coaching with Dawson.
