Behavioral science · Validated methodology
Stop hiring who interviews best. Start hiring the best fit!
Harry Lakin uses a validated normative behavioral assessment that measures how people actually behave, not how they present themselves. The difference is the difference between a poor to good hire and a great one.
What makes this assessment different
Most assessments measure preferences or tendencies. Our OMS Assessment measures real candidate behavior and behavioral intensity. It also reveals the gap between how someone behaves naturally and how they adapt their behaviors in response to their work environment. That gap is where insight lives. It predicts how someone will perform under pressure, how they'll respond to feedback, how they'll lead, where they're likely to struggle, and where leadership may have to add additional support. The OMS Assessment is a normative instrument, which allows Harry to compare one individual to another with statistical certainty. It also allows us to build a behavioral benchmark and accurately compare candidates against it. The OMS has been rigorously tested and validated by independent psychometricians. Our validity study is available to you for review. I have nothing to hide. In fact, I'm quite proud of the OMS!
Where it's used
Pre-hire evaluation
Understand a candidate's behavioral fit for the role before you make the offer. Not instead of the interview, in addition to it.
Team dynamics
Map the behavioral landscape of an existing team to understand communication gaps, conflict patterns, and untapped strengths.
Leadership development
Give leaders a clear-eyed view of their own behavioral tendencies and a roadmap for developing the ones that matter most.
Succession planning
Identify internal candidates with the behavioral profile to succeed in elevated roles, before the seat is empty.
How it works
Assessment
The individual completes the online assessment in approximately 10 minutes. No preparation required.
Interpretation
Harry reviews the results in the context of the role, the team, and the organization. The data is only as useful as the interpretation.
Debrief
A structured debrief session with the hiring team, the hiring manager, or both. Harry helps translate the data into decisions.
