Aurico^SM Assessments helps its customers gain and maintain a competitive edge by enabling them to select, obtain, develop and retain people who excel in the company’s culture.

In a highly regarded study published in the Harvard Business Review entitled “Job Matching for Better Sales Performance”, the results were overwhelming. When candidates were hired based primarily on experience, they stood a 32% chance of ranking in the top half of all performers within their organization. When a “Job Matching” approach was used (candidate evaluation using cognitive, behavioral, and cultural fit as the primary screening method), the individuals hired stood a 70% chance of ranking in the organizations top half.
