HoganTM assessments provides us a deep understanding of the candidate's personality. Based on this insight, we advise the organization about certain aspects of a candidate's personality, and viceversa, smoothing the integration of personality and culture. We are also very strict in the sign-off process. All finalists are made aware of the result of an executive search process we conduct. Everything that we do at AIMS Peru is transparent and respectful.Sometimes even after conducting the Hogan assessment, the supervisor and candidate may need further guidance. In that case, we provide an optional mentoring service. For the first six weeks after a new employee joins the company, we have a mentor who works with both the new hire and the supervisor, to help them work collaboratively. Our work does not stop at placement. We go beyond that and ensure the candidates connect with our clients' organizational culture.Guillermo: Premium sign-off is another important service that we bring to the table. Sometimes, companies reach out to us saying they want to hire managers with certain characteristics. In such cases, we first strive to understand all the intricacies and start finding the right candidates. However, in the end, there will usually be two finalists and one will not be selected. We, in order to, not make them heartbroken, offer an additional service called Premium Sign Off, using HoganTM Assessments again, to provide deeper feedback to the first runner up.Our two final candidates are asked to take the Hogan test through the Hogan Personality Inventory (HPI). We call them for a personal interview and advise them on how to handle a specific personality trait, how to improve it for the future, and how to fit in a specific role better. When the person joins the company, or not, both he or she has a report and an explanation of his or her personality.
