DISC Profiling - 8 Real Benefits Recruiters Shouldn’t Ignore

What is DISC?

Taken by over a million people each year, DISC is a powerful psychometric tool that describes human behaviour in various situations, helping businesses and hiring managers find the right person for the team, culture, industry and the job role.

1. Narrow down your candidates.

Go beyond the skills, education, and previous experiences in a resume. Whilst these are important, they don’t necessarily exhibit some of the key attributes you may be looking for in a position

2. Simplify the interview process.

Ask specific questions directed at the candidate's key strengths or limitations. For example, when interviewing a high “D” for a clientfacing role, dive deeper with your questions to determine whether they have the empathy and listening skills required for the position.

3. Find the right culture fit.

Recruiters can predict how a candidate will interact with others and approach tasks, which is vital information to have when driving or maintaining corporate culture.

4. Avoid costly hiring mistakes.

Reduce turnover by hiring right the first time. The result of getting the right person on board is a motivated employee who stays with the organisation and in their position longer. As a Recruiter, you increase placement longevity.

5. Manage conflict better.

Avoid costly personality conflicts and build trust with team members by understanding their communication styles and work habits. Good communication leads to great collaboration.

6. Maximise strengths and talents.

DISC Profiling can help increase productivity by adapting projects and tasks to match your employees' natural behavioural preferences. Know what motivates and demotivates your employees - this information is included in Impact Persona’s DISC reports.

7. Onboard new hires better.

The first three months is critical. Tailoring the onboarding experience based on a new hire's DISC style helps them to fully engage in your business. Read our other blog article here to know why.

8. Manage performance reviews more effectively.

Aligning the employee's performance reviews and feedback with their DISC personality style can create more successful outcomes for their team manager.
