Identifying Top Field Sales Performers
The Challenge
The client was looking to enhance the selection process for their field sales representatives selling property and auto insurance.
As a global leader of insurance policies, it was critical this organization identify individuals who would be likely to sell more policies and drive sales growth to maintain and increase its market position.
Competition in the market for these roles is fierce. The assessments used in selecting the best candidates needed to provide an engaging experience, as well as set the client apart from their competitors in the war for talent.
With high volume applicants, improving efficiency in the selection process was key. The solution administered needed to integrate seamlessly into an automated hiring solution and decrease the time commitment required from recruiters and hiring managers.
The Solution
Saville Assessment partnered with the client to create a blended assessment solution – a multi-media Situational Judgment Test (SJT) and behavioral role-fit questionnaire.
The SJT gives candidates a realistic preview of the role, measures the area’s most likely to predict in-role performance and is fully tailored to showcase the client’s brand.
Match 6.5 powered by Wave®, a short behavioral tool, measures 36 critical work areas with extraordinary validity for predicting performance in just six and a half minutes.
