Chicago & Illinois HR Consulting

Not hiring the right person can be expensive, particularly when employees are underemployed and not used to their fullest potential. According to Branford Smart, Ph.D., author of "Top grading", the wrong hire can cost as much as 24 times the salary - a significant financial drain. Using a comprehensive assessment process you are assured a higher return on your investment.

At Alliance HR Network we know that to build a progressive organization, you need the best human capital. One of the greatest challenges of the 21st century is productivity. Through our extensive Candidate Assessment Process, Alliance HR Network helps you identify top performing "A" players in Chicago and Illinois.

When we partner with a company in developing an Internal Hiring Process, we take a close look at the company to determine what type of people brings it the most success? What are the cultural traits of the organization? We build a matrix of winning behaviors that make up the organization as a whole. Then, we narrow down the core competencies required for top performance in each role, and identify the behaviors that lead to winning in each position. We partner with business Directors, Presidents, Owners, Human Resources, and Department Managers to develop a standard questionnaire that can evaluate the cultural and core competency fit for each key position in an organization. This process reduces ramp-up time, develops stronger teams, and builds a foundation for in-house talent ”on the bench.”

If hiring is done properly, the right people are aligned with the right job; this ultimately reduces poor matches and employee turnover.

Talent and Performance Benchmark Study - Before assessing any applicants, successful employees within a specific job within an employer are studied via the concurrent validation process, and the benchmark for that job is then established for that specific employer. This creates a customized, validated approach in the selection process. Applicants can then be assessed against the employer's specific benchmark to determine whether or not the individual has the traits necessary for success in that particular job.

Testimonials

“We are simply better since working with Alliance HR Network. Previously, we had a history of hiring people based on a knee-jerk reaction to whether we liked them or not. Now, we know how important it is to dig deeper. Alliance HR taught us the importance of profiles, testing and creating detailed job descriptions. Now, we hold people accountable for what their jobs really are, and we are more effective because of it. If you’re interested in utilizing a human capital consulting company, make sure you are comfortable communicating with your advisor. Alliance HR gave me a good feeling from the start. Margaret is easy to approach and she has a wonderful ability to communicate. Party Time and Alliance HR was simply a good recipe. Alliance HR Network put us back on the right track. I feel even better about the future now than when we first started working with them. Margaret caused a lot of excitement when she was here, and in the past we had a problem with going back to old habits once the advisor left. We’re not doing that now – what she taught us is sticking.”
