Traditionally many companies focus their recruitment model criteria on hard skills when recruiting (e.g. technical expertise, industry knowledge, education) often paying less attention to the real factors that determine success that are harder to quantify.

HR Specialists and recruiters need to select the right candidates that not only "fit" the role but are able to "fit" with the organisation. People who will have an impact straightaway and know how to adapt to new people and situations. Candidates with Business Emotional Intelligence, who will fly through their probation period and stay with your organisation for the longer term.

Emotional Intelligence is about how individuals manage both themselves and others. It is about understanding and gaining an accurate insight into an individual's motivation to succeed. This includes how to make decisions, why people behave the way they do and how to maximise performance.

Being able to recruit and select for Business Emotional Intelligence ensures orgnisations are focusing on the 'real' human factors that determine success (Resilience to pressure, controlling critical emotions, motivation to succeed, decision making, understanding others etc). This is the key to human capital management.

By assessing for Business Emotional Intelligence you will be able to:

• Stop losing money from bad recruitment decisions
