Right Fit™ / Recruitment & Selection for companies
About the Assessment & Usage: Increasing costs in recruitment and selection is an increasing concern for the HR Dept. Multiple strategies to contain this has met with an unpardonable challenge of ‘Trendy Attrition’. When HR executives anxiously ask us for assessment tools to identify the ‘rolling stones’ we unequivocally say,’ there is no magic wand to cure this problem’. Prudent people will concur that ‘attrition’ depends on various pull & push factors. But we also unambiguously say that our “Right Fit’ will indicate certain symptoms of those people through candid inferences.
For example – an employee, whose personality is outgoing, requires constant strokes and who may not like to be bound by rules will not fit into a company that follows hierarchy and adheres to rules. This is where the assessment tool comes into play – by revealing one’s traits from which one can infer whether the prospective employee is the “right or wrong fit” for the concerned position.
How is this test different from others?
Close scrutiny of most personality assessment tools available globally will reveal that each personality is put in to a straight jacket irrespective of their variable scores. A classic example would be the classification of the highly extrovert and moderately extrovert personalities – both fall under the “extrovert” tag and carry the same reports as their scoring have no bearing on their traits. On the other hand, we radically differ with the above outcome as we have experienced dissimilar traits in them although the above both are ‘Extroverts’.
With these crucial points in mind, (advantage BODHI) BODHI’s skillful artisans have deftly crafted an assessment tool with multiple usages. Their passion and acumen in this domain has brought the test closer to accuracy- both in its use and application.
As a feedback, Vice Chairman of a leading MNC puts it across, BODHI‘s “Right Fit” integrates one’s aptitude, IQ, EQ and personality. The test results of “BODHI’ s Right Fit’ has been one of the rarest times when the company’s knowledge of a person and a report has matched closely.
BODHI believes that this integration and utmost accuracy of reports brings an organization closer to what “they need to know”. The “Bodhi’s Right Fit” is a patented tool primarily aimed at providing organizations/ institutions the ability to the select a employee who is best suited for their needs.
The secondary usages are:

- Horizontal & vertical need of a person In terms of responsibility
