The latest version of Smart Hiring uses sample data captured from various methods. The first one is wherein company received data for more then 5000 personnel tested using Smart Hiring all over India in various companies.

Some of the real statistical research has been devoted to modifications of Smart Hiring on a very broad sampling of the area of personality responses in consultation with the following highly experienced and qualified Psychologists:-

The consensual approach of Psychologists and the statistical treatment of data collected on the tool have given way to a true personality structure, revealing functionally independent items for each dimension of personality.

Providing of Norms in the form of Standard Scores with an easy graphic representation of presence and strength of each specified trait along with a SWOT – Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats – analysis report.

Providing of a ‘Consistency Score’ of an individual thereby showing how far the person tested was in harmony with his own self in responding to the various situations. In a way, it is a measure of one’s character, sincerity, integrity and ego-strength that go to make one’s inner core of personality.

The design of the new version of Smart Hiring has been in keeping with the long distance goals of HR Managers who want a kind of constancy in their assessment over the periods the employees recruited tend to stay and work for the organization. The latest version has been ‘timed’ to reduce the effect of factors like social desirability.

The latest version allows for an easy testing of employees time and again for a comparative study of employees’ attitude change and helps in better performance appraisal.

The new version includes as many as 15 dimensions of personality that are of potential importance in selection , counseling as well as educational guidance and clinical evaluation. .
