To assist companies in conducting efficient and successful hiring practices, Development Dimensions International (DDI) has introduced AcqHireSM, a total hiring solution that will enable companies to select the best people for the job and bring them on-board successfully.
After more than 30 years of research and working with companies around the world to hire more than 21 million people, DDI invested $5 million to develop AcqHire. AcqHire includes five integrated components critical to the selection process: success profiles, screening and testing, interviewing, simulations and on-boarding.
ìAcqHire gives companies a seamless tool to make better hiring and promotion decisions,î said Scott Erker, Senior Vice President, DDI Selection Solutions. ìAcqHire examines not just experience and skills, but also measures how successful the candidate will be based on their ëfití with the organization.î
Currently, Pfizer, Kraft, Miller Brewing, Honda Motor Company, Eli Lilly, General Motors use DDI and AcqHire for their organizational hiring needs.
AcqHire incorporates Targeted Selection, DDIís established behavior-based interviewing system, and TS: Access, a software system that automates the creation of online interview guides and data integration. AcqHireís screening and testing technologies narrow the pool of candidates with customizable tests that are based on the competencies of the job. Simulations reveal how candidates will perform in real world situations, while providing them with a realistic preview of the job.
Interview training is also offered by an on-the-job electronic coaching and development system to ensure that interviewers are able to conduct efficient and legally defensible interviews.
Once a candidate has been selected for the job, AcqHireís on-boarding component helps managers create a custom development guide for new hires, based on the information gathered during the interview process and what they need to be successful in the job.
ìWe want to provide organizations with a tool that allows them to make hiring decisions with confidence,î Erker said. ìAcqHire ensures meaningful results, including lower recruiting costs, better productivity and reduced turnover.î
AcqHire is compatible with the most common ATS software, including PeopleSoft, Taleo and Recruitmax.
