I dont doubt that. Large corps generally dont give a shit about the people who do the grunt and will think everyone works the same way as a drone. Life is definitely not black and white.

Two companies entered all my deets into a ZX81, pressed go and a little piece of paper came out of a printer next to it and on the paper it said one word - Winner. Although thinking about it, as it was upside down it may have said Wanker. They both hired me either way.

Exactly that. Essentially, every business task / activity / job is done best by someone who has a specific set of behavioural characteristics and capabilities. The products my company builds help in two ways: 1) Helping companies to understand what 'good' looks like, so that they can... 2) ... use our assessments to find folks that have those characteristics and capabilities. Remote working is the same - some find it easier than others. Social confidence, autonomy, resilience and adaptability all make for an easier transition for those that are unfamiliar with a virtual working environment, and not everyone has a natural alignment with those kinda behaviours. Obvs, anyone that fails the assessment gets taken out in the street and shot. This obviously needs to be tailored for each different discipline in a corporation as there is no one size fits all methodology. How does this work for a company that has many differing revenue streams and disparate working environments. For instance my industry is very different depending on the class of business and the work stream for one class may be work intensive for not such a great return whilst my class has punchier numbers but much more of a seasonal breakdown iro revenue streams. A corporation would look to implement the same vision across both streams when it is clear that both have very differing skill sets and behaviours not always dictated by internal factors. Assuming you mean the 'every business task / activity / job is done best by someone who has a specific set of behavioural characteristics' bit, then yeah - organisations that actually understand how to use psychology to improve performance will have a stack (technical term) of different profiles to assess against. Some are more sophisticated than others. HSBC have over 300 different job profiles across their organisation, and a dedicated assessment solution for each of them. Just in their customer contact organisation, they have 30 different profiles. Ideally, a job-hire assessment should measure some stuff that IS common across all job roles - culture and values fit for example, and some stuff that's unique to the role you're applying for. You're right though Dan - some businesses try and get away with as cheap an option as possible by not distinguishing between disciplines within the same function - I've worked with countless businesses that use the same profile for hunter and farmer salespeople, and who are then surprised that half their sales team aren't up to the job... |

Haha I'm guessing both the companies who hired me were extremely surprised when they realised what it delivered them. I've seen this model fail first hand though many times. Just too many people from too many walks of life. Cluster fuck.
I do know that JTi spent 2k per assessment and then sent the results off to America for them to come back and tell them who to hire. Madness.

It seems ironic that the Capitalist world of big business employs communist methods to find the "best" employees these days?

It's definitely up a lot. Would be interesting to see what their subscription and user activity is like these days. Could be an age thing, but I know loads of people that have stopped using it. Maybe they're flooding it with adverts to get their big paychecks before it crashes Think the whole privacy thing really kicked them. Quite rightly. Now they own whatsapp and I'm thinking of binning that too Facebook revenues went up by $5bn yoy to $21bb in Q4 2019. So yeah, they’ve had a right bloody nose. You could put that down to increasing their ads tenfold though rather than a loss of image |

Not the most effective though.
Keep the brand light burning.

Or you could put it down to Facebook creating an algorithm that detects the sweetspot between audience and frequency and raping the fucking arse out of it. And you know what? Their business model might be fucked in 3 years, but they’ll still turn a profit of $50bn a year. I know I’m right. |
