Development of a Sales Recruitment Tool for a major US tracking device manufacturer
Identity Exploration Ltd, Belfast
Identity Exploration were contracted by our client to build a selection tool that would help them make better hiring choices. The company had
previously experienced a high level of turnover among sales staff and wanted to recruit new people who were more likely to stay in
the job and perform at a top level. By interviewing a cross-section of sales staff (including an identified group of top performers)
and pinpointing those characteristics that could be statistically linked to the top performers only, we were able to provide our
client with a reliable and predictive hiring tool.
Development of an Employee Culture Survey
Identity Exploration Ltd, Belfast
This project was commissioned by one of our Reveal Partners as a key tool for use with their clients as part of wider Organisational
Development and Change Management programmes. The Survey tool has been built around their own Leadership and OD model and has brought
the added measurement dimensions available through the ISA approach to a well-proven development model.
Analysis of Student Identities and Professional Development
Identity Exploration Ltd, Belfast
This project is ongoing with Queen's University Belfast and was driven by the creation of a new Actuarial degree course. As well as
academic excellence, the course administrators are keen that the students are professionally prepared for the world of actuarial work.
To assist in this process, we are building a development profile for top performing Actuaries which will help the undergraduates to
learn more about themselves and their work preferences, so enabling them to develop key attributes for their ongoing careers.
Development of a Change Readiness Assessment
Identity Exploration Ltd, Belfast
Prepared in conjunction with another Reveal Partner, this Change Readiness Assessment was designed to be an integral part of this
Change Management consultancy's process. Delivered as a survey of employees, the Assessment is a diagnostic tool from which the
programme of change is defined. The Partners process also involves the use of standard Reveal products at agreed intervals during
and after the Change process such that progress can be measured.
