All too often, employers or hiring managers feel compelled to fill a position with a sense of urgency or short-term panic, rather than thoughtful consideration of the long-term impact on the business or organization. In many other cases, employers seek personnel who seem to represent a minimal threat of competition, frequently hiring individuals who appear to be "clones" of the employer rather than adding a new dimension, fresh perspective or broader level of expertise to the staff.

Recognizing these self-defeating habits is the first step to creating fundamental change in your hiring practices. Wellspring Advantage offers the next step: a strategic and proven process to pre-screen employees, improving the odds that you will hire people who are the right fit for your corporate culture, organizational personality, team expectations and ongoing objectives.

Pre-Employment Screening / Selection

To assist businesses and non-profit organizations in selecting candidates for hire, we utilize an assortment of assessment tools and interviews with each candidate, delivering significant and instructive data that inform your decision-making process. By analyzing each candidate's unique character traits, you will be able to best support and utilize their assets and minimize performance inhibitors.

Personnel Development

Beyond the pre-employment assessment, we offer two exceptional consulting packages to make sure that your team is working seamlessly and effectively within your organization:

The 90-Day Advantage

Our 90-Day Advantage is a strategic process to successfully integrate new hires into their new professional position. We engage directly with the employee through a series of three to four coaching sessions designed to develop and maximize their effectiveness and ensure a smooth transition within the first 90 days of employment. During these initial three months, we provide support for any emerging relationship issues between management and the new team member, helping to build a constructive foundation for future success.

The Advantage Plus

Through our Advantage Plus offering, we continue our professional coaching sessions to address performance issues and target areas of essential growth for the new hire. By referencing the individual's initial assessment results as gleaned from the 90-Day Advantage, we are able to track progress toward building effective interpersonal skills as well as tapping the individual's natural abilities to deliver peak performance.

Our Advantage Plus program is an effective tool for existing personnel, too, because it uncovers often-hidden talents or traits that can help the organization move to the next level of success and foster greater employee satisfaction and loyalty. "Star performers" on your team are also ideal candidates for Advantage Plus, because they have already demonstrated their capacity to make positive contributions on the path to your goals. Just as coaches on pro sports teams help star athletes elevate their game, we also assist your best employees in honing their strengths and minimizing their shortcomings through practice, coaching and ongoing feedback.

No business – no matter how large or small – should hire staff without considering The 90-Day Advantage. This single tool can help bring stability and sensibility to your recruitment routine and reduce the "revolving door" effect of making an ill-considered hiring decision.
