My Potentia For Business

The use of My Potentia in the selection and recruitment process helps businesses to improve retention, save time and money. The cost of recruitment is an accepted aspect of doing business and training people is an investment that businesses are willing to make if there is a level of confidence that the person has the capability to successfully complete the training. My Potentia provides your business with the insight into whether an applicant or existing employee has the capability (potential) to be able to successfully fulfil the requirements of a job role and complete necessary training courses and education programs.

Start recruiting right

My Potentia supports the selection of the right people, with capability or trainability potential, enabling alignment to appropriate training, education and suitable employment. Embedded in the recruitment process, My Potentia provides a stress-free approach for both candidate and recruiter. It not only measures a person’s capacity for training and education but supports appropriate alignment to role.

My Potentia will provide you with the data to make informed decisions and an insight into a person’s potential, showing you what they are capable of achieving in relation to knowledge acquisition, training and application of skills on the job.

Out with the old

Typical assessment methods for job selection and placement include:

interviews
written job applications
tests and psychometric assessments, requiring a level of literacy, previous training or education
prior relevant work experience

Approximately 30% of Australia’s population come from a culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) background. Language reliant screening and assessment methods can inherently present bias against people with language, literacy and numeracy related issues, low levels of education, lack of second language fluency, social or cultural barriers.

With more than 3,000 first nation candidates assessed in the last 6 years, My Potentia can evidence the positive impact to people’s lives and significant workforce impact.

Good candidates may be disregarded due to not being able to perform in standard assessment processes.

Good recruitment ensures success

Recruiting the right people is integral to the success of your business. The inappropriate selection of people can lead to:

High turnover of employees
Increased recruitment costs for replacement of staff
Increased time requirements related to recruitment processes
Loss of training investment
Loss of productivity
Increase in risk-taking/unsafe behaviours
Loss of corporate knowledge

My Potentia also supports succession planning, identifying the suitability of candidates changing from one role to another, with distinctly different skill sets.
