I felt that Virtual Job Tryout was a very well thought out test. I have taken many personality tests and other types of tests in my professional career and most are very similar.

Our scientific process for measuring HR performance.
Understanding how fuzzy human variables impact diverse sets of business metrics requires precise methodologies and advanced statistics. Advanced HR analytical tools used by Shaker Consulting Group include:
- Validation analysis
- Measures of linear and non-linear associations
- Longitudinal analysis
- Factor analysis
We offer a variety of approaches/solutions to measure and improve HR performance. Once the Performance Model is created, we link our interventions to the relevant competencies for a position, group, or organization.
Performance Metrics.
How do you demonstrate the impact of your people on business results?
How do organizational beliefs influence HR performance?
What is your return on investment from hiring, training, and developing your people?
What is the next generation of HR performance measurements you need to develop?

This enables an organization to demonstrate people's performance and ultimately their impact on operating results. In order to quantify organizational ROI, we can:

- Create models and identify key human resource metrics that demonstrate how your people create value and achieve financial results
