Chart Guide - Role Fit Composition

Throughout the platform, under the majority of charts there is an ? icon which is for "Explain this Chart To me" 

The below shows what an "Explain this Chart to me" guide looks like for the Role Fit Composition Chart under:

Work Styles > Versus Role

NOTE: The candidate's score for each trait is weighted based on the importance of the trait for the role. This is the Candidate’s Weighted Score for the trait, which is summed together with the other trait weighted scores to give the role fit score as shown in the Job Fit chart.

Overview

This chart shows the candidate's Trait Fit scores as they contribute to the overall Role Fit score. 

Role Fit is the extent to which a candidate is suited to the demands of the role based on their level of fit for each of the Big 5 personality traits. 

These traits are weighted based on their relative importance to the role, with the more important traits contributing more to the overall Job Fit. The size of a trait's area in this chart shows the importance of that trait for the role. The highlighted section within each trait area shows the candidate's score for the trait. 

On-Screen you can hover-over to show the Candidate Trait score and the Trait contribution.

Questions this chart answers

1. Which traits are most important for the role and how well does the candidate's profile match this importance? i.e. does the candidate have high scores where it matters?
2. How does a candidate's trait profile contribute to their overall Role Fit once weighting is taken into account?
3. Which traits does a candidate have more or less of, relative to each other?

How to interpret this chart

• The most important traits have the largest sections of the chart. By focusing on these you can understand why a candidate's overall role fit score might be as it is. The candidate's status for these traits are the most crucial in showing how the profile of the candidate suits the profile of the role. Similar to the Job Fit chart, the candidate's score is shown in a colour that indicates their level of fit for the trait, using 3 statuses:
  • Explore further: Candidates with a trait fit score of Explore Further do not meet the expected level of this trait for the role. It is important to remember that the level of a trait that a candidate has is not good or bad, as there is no 'right' level of any particular trait. It only serves to indicate that where a candidate has less of a trait than is expected for the role, they may need to develop mechanisms and/or strategies to compensate when performing the role. These should be explored further with the candidate to understand both their approach to such challenges and identify the levels of support that they may need.
  • Good fit: The candidate is within a reasonable range of the expected level for the trait for the role. It appears that they would be a good fit for meeting the demands of the role in this area, but there may be certain elements that should be explored further with the candidate to ensure a well-rounded match.
  • Great fit: The candidate easily exceeds the expected level of this trait for the role. Any misalignment with the demands of the role is minor and would not have undue influence on their ability to meet the demands of the role.

• The candidate's scores for the most important traits are the biggest contributing factors to the overall Role Fit score, and therefore give a strong indication as to why that score, and status have been determined. Another way to view this chart is to look at the non-highlighted area remaining in the chart. This grey area is the 'missing piece' for the candidate in terms of their fit to the role, and so the larger the grey area, the more challenging the candidate may find the demands of the role.
• It's possible to get an idea of the candidate's personality by looking at the scores for each trait and how they compare to each other.
