The Science of Hiring: How to Predict Job Performance with Accuracy

Everyone’s talking about talent density, but how do you actually raise the bar? If your team feels “good enough,” the issue isn’t your people, it’s more likely your hiring process.

In 2022, Dr. Paul Sackett’s groundbreaking meta-study re-examined decades of research on predicting job performance — revealing what truly separates average teams from exceptional ones.

In Episode #3 of Systematic Hiring, we’ll unpack the science and show you how to turn insights into action so you can hire with accuracy and confidence.

In Episode #3 of Systematic Hiring we'll explore;

• Why your job description might be your most predictive tool and how defining the role right becomes your hiring GPS.

• Why there’s no single perfect method, but there is a perfect combination, depending on your goals

• How to combine these insights to build a process that consistently identifies and retains top talent.

• Bring your questions, we’ll save time for a live Q&A. 💬

 👉 Join Dr. Paul Sackett, and host Kajsa Asplund as they explore what the latest science tells us about predicting performance, and how TA leaders can use these insights to build teams that raise the bar.
