Alternative HR relies on a skills-based strategy

Identifying the skills that are essential to a company and developing them with the right learning tools to foster development are among the objectives of managers, who today are under great pressure to keep and grow their talents.

The maximization of talent potential is an expertise of Alternative HR. To know this potential, the study of candidates' skills is taken seriously, right from the beginning of the selection process.

From the time of hiring, investing in skills development to realize the full potential of a team is at the heart of their strategy.

Knowing the strengths of employees, their acquired skills and their skills to be developed, could influence the choice of a candidate according to his or her complementarity and added value in a team profile.

Alternative HR needed a solution to accurately calculate a candidate's abilities without having to prove themselves in action. They needed a technology that could analyze what defines their strengths and potential.

The challenges of Alternative HR:  

Selecting the right talent profiles for their clients in a scarcity environment

Evaluate and develop essential skills

Distinguish between personalities that converge at work within the same team

For Valerie Villeneuve, the search criteria for their talent selection tool were marked by innovation and a cutting edge vision of psychometrics.

Valerie saw the AtmanCo platform as the solution to their recruitment challenge. In more than one case, simple intuition suggested a strong potential for success for certain candidates during the interview process. Following the assessments, the tool revealed some areas of concern that were difficult to see in an interview, and thus allowed for better planning of development strategies:

"The data allowed managers to better adapt their integration plan and then their follow-up on the development of their employees. The solution greatly helps their daily work. Without the results of the assessments, they would never have noticed these areas of concern," explains Valérie.

In addition to decoding new data on candidates, AtmanCo has enabled them to validate 80% of the dominant skills and those to be developed, and to improve 60% of the motivation and commitment of their client teams.
