How our Hiring Assessment Process Works

Narrow the Field

Review qualifications, conduct your initial interviews, and narrow to the people you're seriously considering.

Assess Your Finalists

We use the Judgment Index™ to look at the judgment a person brings to their work, how they evaluate situations, people, problems, priorities and themselves.

Review Your Findings

We interpret the results in light of the specific role you're trying to fill, helping you identify strengths, potential concerns and areas worth exploring more deeply.

Make a More Informed Decision

You'll have better questions for final interviews, more meaningful comparisons between candidates, and fewer thing you wish you had known.

THE TOOL BEHIND THE PROCESS

The Judgment Index™

We use the Judgment Index™ as part of our hiring and promotion assessment process.

Unlike assessments primarily focused on personality, behavioral style, or skills, the Judgment Index™ provides insight into how a person exercises judgment, both in their work and in how they evaluate themselves.

As accredited Judgment Index™ practitioners, we interpret the findings in light of the role you’re trying to fill, because different roles require different strengths.

  • Understand how they’re likely to use their ability once they’re in the seat.

  • See where the fit looks strong and where to ask better questions.

  • Gain insight into their judgment, priorities and internal capacities.

What Our Clients Say

Teresa

President of an Engineering Firm

"Working with HaBO using The Judgment Index helped us reduce uncertainty around how to identify strong leadership and people-management potential. It provides a way to assess if individuals possess the traits we value in our leaders. Unlike traditional personality tests, it offers deeper insights into soft skills, learning agility, strategic growth potential, and, most importantly, an individual’s willingness and ability to coach and develop others."

Jason

COO of a Pet Food Manufacturing Company

"The Judgment Index that HaBO introduced into our hiring process has truly been a game changer for us. We rely on it in three meaningful ways. First, it helps us confirm the impressions we form during interviews. Second, it gives us valuable insight into how to train and support each team member once they’re on board. And third, it helps us continually strengthen our hiring process by comparing Index results with how our employees ultimately perform in their roles."
