Job Specific Assessments from JOBehaviors Offer Insight Online into What One Wants to be When Grown Up

Those who are trying to figure out what they want to be when they grow up (regardless of their age), may visit new career Web site, http://www.JOBehaviors.com, for dozens of job-specific compatibility assessments.

Mark Tinney, president of JOBehaviors, asks, "What Do You Want to be When You Grow Up?"

Anyone who is trying to figure out what they want to be when they grow up (regardless of their age), might visit new career Web site, 'http://www.JOBehaviors.com'. The site provides dozens of job-specific compatibility assessments in high demand industries that help people discover their best job choice. The assessments are available free of charge and are based on an in-depth behavioral analysis with people who have found long-term success and satisfaction in their job.

JOBehaviors worked with leading companies and training organizations across the country to develop their laser-focused job assessments.

Tinney said, "Our goal is to provide individuals with powerful information that comes directly from people who love what they do. Our main focus is to help people discover the job that offers the greatest potential for success and long-term happiness. At the same time we want to connect companies and training organizations with high-potential candidates whoave given their permission to be contacted."

The site allows people to choose assessments from a variety of industries including: Automotive, Childcare, Banking, Construction, Grocery, Education, Fleet Maintenance, Healthcare, Sales, Sports, Transportation and many others.

The assessments take about 10 to 15 minutes to complete and provide instant comparative results (one through five stars) along with a narrative describing the person's likelihood of finding long-term job satisfaction. The assessments are available both for people interested in career insight for job training as well as for those who want to stand out in the crowd of otherwise qualified job candidates.

Jobseekers are able to create an account that allows access to dozens of assessments along with the ability to opt-in (results are kept private until a user decides to make them public) to share their result and contact information with companies offering training and/or employment opportunities.

Tinney added, "Since our assessments are tied directly to a job analysis with people who love what they do, we're able to dramatically improve training completion and long-term retention of new employees. Our clients realize turnover reduction of up to 60 percent with 90 to 95 percent completion of training. At the same time jobseekers are able to save time and money they might otherwise have spent pursuing the wrong job."

JOBehaviors recently participated in a training project for the transportation industry (Rapid Road to Recovery Program) sponsored by the U.S. Department of Labor and the state of Arkansas which demonstrated the potential for enrolling candidates based on job-specific behavioral assessment. The project achieved a 93 percent completion of training with 88 percent still on the job after 60 days.

Calvin Graham, 43, of West Memphis, Ark., was in between jobs and thinking of pursuing a trucking career when he completed the JOBehaviors Long Haul Truck Driver assessment to gain entrance into the program. He said, "The assessment played a big part in my decision to make trucking a career." He added, "Knowing I was a good match for the job really gave me more drive to complete the program. I was looking for a better career and I found it."

Another JOBehaviors client is a leading childcare company with hundreds of locations across the U.S. Over the past two years, the company has assessed nearly 80,000 candidates and have reduced turnover by over 60 percent.

JOBehaviors partners are able to register with the service and create queries for candidates that meet such criteria as minimum assessment result, geographic location, employment versus training and availability.

Preferred partners are able to create custom links that provide exclusive access to high potential applicants.

"Before starting a journey it helps to know where you're going," Tinney says. "That's especially true when you're on a journey to find out what you want to be when you grow up."
