Top-Grading Systems

TalentPort is a champion of Top-Grading as a best practice to help your company surface the top 10% of performers quickly and accurately during your interview process. We’ll support or guide your team to tailor a topgrading process that fits your company and leadership team.

Together we’ll take a closer look at your hiring success ratio – evaluating the distinguishing factors in good vs. bad hires. In the process, we’ll surface anything that may be increasing your likeliness of mishires and identify course correction to close this gap.

Generally speaking, the topgrading methodology can triple your hiring success, which ultimately impacts your culture. It does so by optimizing your screening and interview process in ways that solve the three biggest hiring problems that most organizations struggle with.

Training key leaders in the topgrading interview process will heighten awareness of critical success factors in the recruitment and interview process. Although more in-depth than other interview approaches, topgrading will quickly become like second nature to your team as they experience the benefits of improved outcomes and increased retention rates. Your management team will gain valuable insight into behavioral interviewing and this will improve their confidence in their hiring decisions.
