Chad Hayward
Assessment Director, Hire Insight Group

Background

Chad Hayward is President and Assessment Director for the Hire Insight Group (www.hireinsightgroup.com), a firm that provides completely outsourced screening and assessment programs to help clients quickly identify the very best candidates within their pool of applicants.

In 2001, he received his Master's degree in Industrial/Organizational Psychology from the University of Waterloo, since which time he has consulted for organizations of all sizes, from three-person start-ups to large multinational corporations. This has provided him with a substantial base of practical experience and a keen understanding of the problems associated with the current state of recruitment and selection.

He has published in both academic journals and mainstream media, provided numerous interviews on the subject of employee assessment and selection, and is active in both national and international professional associations.

Company Profile

Hire Insight was established to help clients reduce the considerable time and costs required to source and select new employees, and to greatly increase the confidence that employers have in their final hiring decisions. In essence, the firm provides the information that clients need in order to consistently hire top performers.

This goal is achieved through the use of a proprietary screening process that quickly filters applicants on basic qualifications and abilities, and provides a shortlist of candidates who have the greatest potential for success. These high potentials are then assessed on their innate talents, motivations, and key development needs, details which are mapped to a particular role and company where appropriate.

All information gathered is verified by experts in the field of employee assessment through structured behaviour-based interviews and in-depth 360° feedback from candidates' former superiors, peers, direct reports, and clients.

The Hire Insight team members who conduct the assessments are all graduate-level educated and have years of experience in psychometrics and employee assessment. This base of expertise provides a unique insight into the type of information required to make confident selection decisions, and a deep understanding of the methods and instruments that are best for uncovering candidate potential.

In January 2008, the firm developed an online database of pre-screened pre-assessed top performers, called Hire Insight Select (www.hireinsightselect.com), which allows employers to hire the very best talent within a particular industry – immediately and at a fraction of the cost of using internal methods or third-party recruiters.
