This was a great experience for me. I enjoyed experiencing the situations first hand so I could get a better feel for what may be in my future. This is a great program that provided me with a lot of information about KeyBank and its procedures.

Interview Guides
Interviewing can be extremely valuable in the hiring process, when it complements the other data collected about applicants. Research has shown that highly structured, behaviorally-based interviews, targeting key criteria can be very accurate, and Shaker Consulting Group offers a suite of interviewing tools, including:
- Guidelines for effective interviewing
- Legal considerations
- Training on how to rate candidates effectively
- Rating forms
- Competency-based interview questions with behavioral anchors
- Complete Interview Guides customized around your competencies, including rating forms, instructions, and questions
Performance Management
Many ongoing performance appraisal processes do not capture or communicate the most important information about performance, and serve limited use in creating positive change. Shaker Consulting Group creates highly specific, easy to use anchored behavioral rating scales that allow your supervisors to give reliable ratings that provide true insight into individual strengths and developmental needs.
Development Guides
Shaker Consulting Group ties all developmental activities back to the competencies that are most critical for success, to ensure that your efforts are maximally efficient and effective. We offer a variety of competency-based developmental tools to enhance performance.
Executive Assessment
For high level, mission critical positions, it is important to learn as much as possible about your candidates. Shaker Consulting Group’s expert industrial psychologists can assess the strengths and developmental needs of your candidates through a proprietary interview and assessment process, culminating in a unique assessment report that documents all relevant applicant characteristics. This assessment can be augmented with a developmental action planning session, in which Shaker’s Ph.D. consultants work with your executives, one on one, to determine specific actions that will help to improve strengths and lessen limitations.
Card Sorts
Shaker Consulting Group’s card sort process is based on a unique competency framework, which is designed to include all potentially relevant business competencies. Using the card deck with our structured process, clients can perform specific sorts to analyze new hire characteristics, review employee performance, create competency and performance models, and more. Assessing performance is much easier with the card sort, because you are able to see the full spectrum of characteristics that lead to business results. This helps users to broaden their perspectives and focus not just on the specific set of competencies that they already do well.
Organization Surveys
Shaker Consulting Group employs a variety of organizational surveys to promote better understanding of issues affecting individual, team, and organizational performance. Specific surveys are available for analyzing culture, attitudes, organizational effectiveness, and for 360-degree (multi-rater) feedback. Customized surveys can also be easily developed, and the surveys can be deployed online or on paper.
