Bovo-Tighe's Job Analysis System™

Harris Plotkin, in his best selling book, "Building a Winning Team", addresses issues that can be attributed to poor selection methodologies. Plotkin asserts:

• Over 90% of all hiring decisions are made by an interviewer
• Most selection decisions are made in less than one hour
• Improved team and organization effectiveness - from respecting and appreciating others, communicating effectively, and improved interpersonal relationships.
• A Michigan State University study indicated the interview is only 14% accurate in predicting performance
• Turnover costs can be as much as 100% of an annual salary
• Many organizations do not track actual turnover costs

The Position Analysis System helps organizations design selection, performance management, career development, and succession planning processes that are effective and objective. The greatest value of this competency-based analysis is in the identification and prioritization of the soft skill requirements for specific jobs. Soft skill requirements are defined in terms of a generic set of 23 competencies that contribute to superior performance in most jobs in most organizations.
