How to Predict Employee Success – Validating Searchlight’s Predictive Talent Platform
Searchlight has predictive, concurrent, and incremental validity, meaning our metrics from pre-hire and within a new hire’s first 60 days accurately predict first year outcomes. We’ve found two main results. First, Searchlight’s specific approach and metrics are valid ways of predicting employee success. Second, looking more broadly, it is entirely possible to accurately predict which employees will go on to excel at a particular company and role during the hiring process.
It’s possible to take a more scientific approach to hiring predictively - with serious benefits.
