Role
Consultant / analyst
The hiring challenge
This is the person who structures and solves the client's problem. The hiring challenge is telling apart the one who reasons with method from the one who just expresses themselves with confidence but no substance.
What to assess
Reasoning, critical thinking, communication and learning of new domains.
How we build the mix
A person with higher cognitive ability tends to learn faster, reason better and adapt to new problems. For this role it is a good base for the mix.
Related competencies confirm that this capable person can perform the specific functions of the role well, not just reason in the abstract.
A technical assessment (your own or digitized) verifies they can use the tools of the role. Or, as an alternative, DISC to learn the behavioral profile for the role.
