Why use the DISC
personality test?

Because of its successful reputation, DISC is an increasingly popular business instrument. Organisations use it for team building, training/development and recruiting.
Clients say that it is very accurate, easy to use and a practical tool in the workplace.

Can I use DISC test for hiring or recruitment?
Yes!
Improve your hiring success by including DISC into your recruitment process.
Hiring the wrong person
As you probably know, the cost of hiring the wrong person is amazingly high in monetary terms. Researchers agree that it costs six to nine months’ salary on average to replace a ‘bad’ hire.
This is apart from the affect the poor selection will have on the morale of the other people concerned. Bringing the wrong person into a team can have a devastating effect on the everyday functioning of a business resulting in lower productivity and revenue. All caused by not checking the personality and compatibility of your most important asset – people!
Use the DISC to achieve a better ‘culture fit’
Success Profiling
DISC assess your team and create a benchmark, or point of reference, against which to compare job applicants. Success Profiling is an enlightening and very useful service to help you gain knowledge about your team and to save you money. The service is provided at a very attractive fee and will enable you to reduce the risk of hiring the wrong person in the future.
DISC profiling can significantly help to improve selection success. However, people-decisions should never be based solely on DISC results. CV and bio-data will all need to be carefully considered and factored into the overall ‘picture’ of the person.

Nature vs Nurture
People are not born ‘blank slates’. However, it is not all in the genes. Life experiences change us and define us. Nurture, in effect, shapes our very nature. Over the years extensive research has been carried out involving the nature/nurture controversy and today nearly all scientists agree that both nature and nurture play crucial roles in human development.
