We wanted to make sure we knew what we were looking for in a good decision-maker. So we sat down with an outside consultant and decision-makers and we identified the competencies necessary to be a good decision-maker. It's very clear there are nine competencies, and then you have the right tools to evaluate.
At the test, the conceptual thinking analysis and communication are ranked. In other words, we pass a judgment as a result of the test.
If they go to interview, I interview with my managers for the other five of the nine competencies. It's highly structured and done on comportments.
So to answer your question with rough numbers, about 70% didn't go further than the test; that's 70 out of 200 candidates. Out of the interviews, I would say approximately another 30% would have been dropped. I could stand corrected, if the numbers were in front of you. I'm going from memory, but I'm pretty close because I'm directly involved in the process.
