Behavioural Workstyle Analysis System
Increasing Objectivity and Reducing Risk in the Recruitment Process

ARS Recruitment adopts the Thomas International Behavioural Workstyle system to examine whether those candidates who have the appropriate technical skills and experience, also have the behavioural profile to enable maximum productivity in the position. This is achieved through understanding the candidate’s natural behavioural style and establishing the behavioural needs of the position using the following four dimensions;

Dominance - How people approach problems and deal with challenges
Influence - How people interact with and attempt to influence people
Steadiness - How people respond to change and levels of activity
Compliance - How people respond to rules and regulations set by others

The Thomas system is used by over 50,000 organisations around the world and operates in 34 countries. A series of management reports are available to improve the recruitment decision;

Personal Profile Analysis (PPA)

  • A clear behavioural picture of the individual (Graph III)
  • The motivators, wants, needs and fears of the individual
  • How they modify their behaviour to succeed at work (Graph I)
  • How they modify their behaviour under extreme pressure (Graph II)

Audits of Behavioural Skills in the Performance of Specific Roles

  • Management Positions
  • Sales Positions
  • Customer Service Positions
  • Administrative & Technical Positions

Human Job Analysis(HJA)

  • A clear behavioural picture of the job position
  • The degree of compatibility between the individual and the job

How to Manage & Motivate

  • How to best manage and motivate the individual for optimum productivity

Organisations using the system typically experience improved recruitment performance, reduced staff turnover, improved teamwork and managerial/staff relationships and increased productivity.

The report should not be used in isolation, but always in conjunction with both an interview and a process whereby a person’s experience, education, qualifications, competence and trainability can be assessed.
