Assess/Benchmark the Job
Key Accountabilities Defined
Begin with a list of “key accountabilities” of each position being benchmarked.
Key accountabilities are the critical goals and key business successe factors the job is accountable for producing. Once defined, they serve as a reference point in assessment.
List the job’s requirements into three separate talent categories:
- Rewards/Culture,
- Behavioral Traits and
- Job Attributes.
Assess Personal Talent
Interviewers agree that the interview process is highly subjective and minimally effective at best. What is needed is an unbiased assessment that reveals the VALUES that motivate a person to a job, the BEHAVIORS they will bring to the job, and whether they have the specific Capacities – or ATTRIBUTES -needed for performance on the job.
Prepare a summary of a person’s talent to match the identical areas outlined. Within the framework of a company’s overall selection and development processes, you can now identify the WHY (values), HOW (behaviours) and WHAT/Will (attributes) an individual can contribute to a job.
You are now ready to match the Talent to the Job
The right TALENT in the right JOB spells performance and productivity and reduced waste in achieving organizational plans. Pathfinders systems enable you to replace common biases often involved in the selection process with factual data based on JOB REQUIREMENTS.

Recently, a CEO tells us, “How many times I have to tell them? They do not understand. I spend my time in doing their job (explaining).”
We, at Pathfinders know identifying the reasons for this Why.
