Using MPR’s "Build with the Best" Software allows you to walk step by step through the process of creating a well thought out Behavioral Benchmark for any position within your organization. Once it’s put together, it will reside on the system for all those with access to the software to view and use in their interviews. The result? A consistent, effective and intelligent hiring methodology is put in place in your organization so that anyone making staff decisions will have an informed, fair and legal method of making personnel decisions.

Once you "question the position" and establish a Behavioral Benchmark, you’re ready to question the candidate to see if they have what it takes to join your team. For every trait chosen in a Benchmark, there will be a number of questions to choose from that will help you set up an effective behavioral interview. The software walks you through picking questions designed to surface the behavioral trait necessary for the successful fulfillment of the position.

Now that you’ve set up a Behavioral Benchmark and a corresponding Interview, you’re ready to start looking for talent. The "Build with the Best" Software allows you to type in candidate’s response to each question and then provides guidelines for how to score that candidate on evidence of a given behavioral trait.

The software also includes a Behavioral Checklist that gives further insight into whether or not a candidate has exhibited the requisite behaviors

Once you scored the candidate and used the Behavioral Checklist to help inform these scoring decisions you can print out a scorecard that shows both how the candidate fared against the Behavioral Benchmark and how that individual compares to other candidates.

Now that you’ve completed the interview process for a candidate in a given position, you can print out any (or all) of the steps in the process to make a hard copy file of the candidate information. You can print the Behavioral Benchmark, the corresponding interview with the candidate’s response, the Behavioral Checklist and finally, the scorecard.

Finally, you can leave all the candidate information on the software so that you have a database of candidates to complement your hard copy files. Another Innovative benefit of such storage is that candidates can even be assigned different positions within your organization. Perhaps they did not exhibit the behaviors necessary for a successful Manager but they do have all the behaviors for a successful Customer Service Representative. Talent can be a rare thing and when you find it, you should hold on to these people. With this feature, MPR’s "Build with the Best" Software provides an easy way to do this.
