The Predictive Index, a company that empowers businesses to realize what drives workplace behaviors, has released its hiring predictions for 2016. Mike Zani, CEO of The Predictive Index, feels that companies will need to supplement traditional thinking when it comes to selecting qualified candidates—including using assessments as part of the vetting process.

Zani states, “In order to increase efficiency and find qualified people, we will see the use of behavior, personality, cognitive ability, and skills assessments used earlier and earlier in the hiring process to ensure only the best-fitting candidates are moved through the hiring process.”
Most companies are facing the seemingly omnipresent obstacles like the war for talent, change management, employee retention, and the changing workplace (which includes continuing to adapt to the changing needs of the Millennial workforce). Facing these challenges head on can provide great opportunities for companies to automate, modernize, and lead in 2016.
