Exploring Behavioral Testing with Logi-Serve (for Pre-hire Selection and Post-hire Development)

In this comprehensive podcast episode, Jenny Arnez hosts a discussion with Mike Callen, the VP of Products at TestGenius, and Dr. Chris Cunningham, the Chief Science Officer at Logi-Serve. The focus is on the intersection of hard skills testing traditionally done by TestGenius and the behavioral or competency-based testing spearheaded by Logi-Serve. They delve into the science behind testing for competencies, emphasizing traits versus states, and how Logi-Serve's assessments are designed to enhance hiring processes by integrating a novel approach to evaluating service-oriented competencies. The conversation covers the development of these assessments, their applicability in pre and post-hire contexts, and their potential to foster better talent management. Additionally, the speakers discuss the importance of candidate experience in assessments, the principle of leveling the playing field to avoid bias, and the flexibility of the Logi-Serve assessment system in catering to various industries and job functions. The episode rounds off with a discussion on the practical application of these tests in HR processes and future prospects for leveraging assessments in employee development and organizational planning.
