What makes the ESQ2 better than traditional hiring methods, like interviews or reference checks?
Nearly everybody considers themselves to be an excellent judge of character. But research indicates that it’s very difficult to quickly identify job applicants with “the right stuff”. Hunter and Hunter (1984) found that the typical job interview contributes less than 2% towards the selection of the applicant with the greatest potential for superior job performance. Usually interviewers’ personal biases and/or prejudices will play a role in hiring decisions. The ESQ2 is an objective tool, free from individual biases.
