Creating a Leadership (LIA) Job

Leadership Impact Analysis (LIA) is a leadership/senior hire assessment that provides unique insights into an individual’s personal leadership strategies – and the impact of those strategies on others’ behaviour measured in terms of performance.

Environment Fit

We use a 13 cultural factor model based on research into high performing teams. In addition, we capture unique insights from relevant teams, peers and direct reports. Then compare applicant cultural preferences with those of the environment

in which they are being interviewed for. LIA identifies high-potential leadership talent who will drive strategy and align with

your purpose, providing invaluable insights into an individual’s influence and effectiveness.

Role Fit

Using the 16-factor model of personality, grouped into 7 categories, we measure and predict a person's behaviour in different work contexts. Our Taxonomy Database then compares benchmark data for 40,000+ roles, providing insights into their job performance characteristics in the workplace. Mapping the skills, knowledge, and abilities required for the different occupations. Each applicant is assessed against the job profile and their team, peer and direct report compatibility - observations and recommendations are presented.

Your platform, dependent on you contract and permissions, enables you to create Leadership Vacancies/Jobs.

Note: For more information on Leadership level jobs click here

Once logged into the platform, click on the Actions menu and choose "Create Leadership Job" 

Once you are in the leadership job creation wizard, you are able to add all the required details, choosing the assessment sections you require, and depending on your contract/permissions you may be able to include the new Safety section, which is our Safety behaviours evaluation. If not, you will see Work Styles, and Values.

Note: If you are interested in Safety Behaviours please ask your Account Manager, see this article and visit the dedicated Safety Behaviours site here.

You can choose which assessment sections you wish to include, bearing in mind that your choice of Assessment section will have an effect on the job setup and all subsequent reporting.  For example if you include Values Only then no Work Styles assessment will be sent to the candidates and there will be no Work Styles/Role analysis. Likewise, if you only choose Work Styles, the candidate will not get the Work Environment assessment and their will be no Team analysis. 

We recommend the inclusion of both sections to get a full view of your candidate.

Once you set the details of the Job, click on "Save" to be presented with the next stage of the Job creation process. You are shown the Job creation wizard, simply follow the steps to build the job to your requirements.

Candidates

You now add candidates, either manually or by upload, and then setup the Teams for the Values element of the job. 

One key differentiator with Leadership jobs is that can have multiple teams and they can be either Direct Reports, Peers, or Other.

You can add candidates manually, upload them via a downloadable template, and even select from a list of existing candidates. 

If you choose to add existing candidates, any previously completed assessment will be re-used. If they have completed 1 assessment section but not the other they will be invited to complete that missing section. If however they have previously completed both/all assessment sections then all data will be re-used and no assessment will need to be sent for completion.

Once your candidates have been added, you will need to configure the Teams to complete the Work Environment/Values assessment, which forms the Team Benchmark/s that the candidates are compared against.

Teams

You can create multiple teams, either by adding Team Members manually or by adding from a previously completed EVA (our Culture questionnaire) 

Note: You can only create a Team Benchmark from an EVA if your organisation has gone through it, for information on the EVA see this article

Note: Each Team can have multiple participants in them, however participants cannot overlap teams. 

Any team member added here will complete the Work Environment/Values questionnaire unless they have already completed it as a Team member before then their data will be re-used.

Make your decision regarding when the invites are sent and click next to tailor the Invite e-mails.

Each of the Candidate and Team Member invites can be tailored to suit the project, changing the From, the Subject and the body text as appropriate.

Candidates will be invited to complete the assessment sections included in the Job build. Likewise, the Team members will be invited to complete the assessment sections relevant to them.
