Unlock Your Company's Potential: Discover the Tool That Helped Us Win 22 Awards
It all started with a private equity investor who couldn't find what he wanted.
The partners of Momentum Capital wanted a better way to hire employees. They tried every approach and tool available, from employment assessments to search firms, consultants, and psychologists, but despite their best efforts, nothing moved the needle. The firm worked hard at vetting candidates and "hit" on about 60% of its hires.
They calculated that every hiring "miss"cost them between 2x and 10x the hire's annual salary.

Finally, after 20 years of searching,
The managing partner stumbled across a new assessment tool. It was originally designed to help students pick a college degree and career path to pursue and would later become the Talent Insights MAP™.
"Adding the MAP™ and later the Structured Interview tool to our process boosted our hiring success rate from 60% to about 75% in a short time. The impact on both economics and morale was big.”

Enter Qualbe Marketing Group.
Jim shared his discovery with Qualbe, and our HR Manager adopted the MAP assessment and Structured Interview into our hiring process. These tools were simpler and more effective than what we had used in the past. We quickly improved our hiring accuracy, identified candidates that fit well in our work environment, and increased efficiency in our hiring processes.
But that wasn’t enough...
The hire date is just the beginning of the employment journey. What about all the days that follow?
We wanted a way to grow our managers and help them lead successfully so we expanded using the MAP results to equip managers to coach their team members better, to uncover causes for low performance, to find better roles for people that were struggling, and to promote people to new roles where they could make a bigger impact. We found our managers were navigating management issues better and that communication and collaboration began improving as employees felt understood.
Why this worked for us –
By integrating the results of these assessments, we gained a much richer understanding of our candidates and employees which enabled us to make informed decisions with confidence.

Using one of our employees as an example,
One assessment correctly showed this person to be careful and cautious, while another assessment showed her to be innovative and visionary.
What we learned? Our employee needs to be encouraged to innovate and share their vision, despite their tendency to be careful and cautious. Imagine if half that information was left out? This person could be less than their full potential, which would be a waste for that person and the company.
Still going strong!
We continue to embed Talent Insights into our hiring, management, coaching, and teamwork practices. It has been instrumental in our success. In fact, it has helped our team win 22 national and regional best place to work awards in the past 6 years.

Qualbe saw such amazing results that we decided to make the MAP assessment available to other businesses, so in 2016 we launched Talent Insights.
As soon as we introduced Talent Insights™ to the marketplace we began receiving positive feedback from consultants, HR professionals, hiring managers and business owners like:
“This tool is not only very insightful, but simple. Because of that people actually use it!”
Darian, HR Consultant
"This (assessment) dove into what people were good at and it helped me figure out the best 'seat on the bus’ for each person.”
Pamela, General Manager
"Our staff retention rates have remarkably improved since adding Talent Insights to our hiring process."
Paul, CEO
