What are Benchmark and Personality Traits?

Benchmarks help you to understand how likely a candidate will perform well in a job.

A Benchmark is effectively a pre-defined set of ranges of the 6 Packfinder personality categories. When comparing the candidates' Packfinder results against a Benchmark, you see the % match score or Predictor of Performance.

The first step is to select In order to do that, we need to measure the candidate's core personality skills and the employer's expectations, then compare the two to each other. We use the Packfinder for the former one, Benchmarks and Personality Traits are used for the latter one.

The Packfinder measures soft skills and we categorize them into 6 areas:

• self-management

• motivational profile

• environmental orientation

• comfort with conflict

• people orientation

• analytical orientation.

Personality Traits are small sections of Benchmarks that are focusing on just a specific soft skill at a time instead of defining a complete persona across all 6 soft-skill categories.
