On Target Hiring and Recruiting Questions

On Target minimizes mistakes in the temporary staffing process. By developing objective performance benchmarks and then evaluating candidates against those standards, PrideStaff can greatly increase the probability of successful temporary employees.

For us it is…for you, not so much. We take care of documenting job profiles, interviewing current employees, conducting job shadowing analysis and administering all benchmarking evaluations. We also provide an orientation for and feedback to your current employees, so they will feel comfortable and excited about the process. All we ask for is a small amount of time from supervisors and current employees to provide the data we need. Once the process is completed, we never have to repeat it unless your job profile changes.

On Target is primarily designed for clerical, data entry, customer service and call center positions, assuming there is enough lead time. The program works best when there are three or more people in the same job function. We’ve also developed job profiles for a variety of positions, which provide standards for lower volume staffing needs.

That’s up to you. Our goal is to understand your Minimum Acceptable Performance (MAP) levels, so we recommend taking a cross-section of your employees, not just top performers.

This is common and helps us thoroughly understand which skill areas are most important to a given position, and what level of proficiency is required. However, we want your employees to feel comfortable, so we work closely with you to ensure that everyone understands what to expect from the tests.
