What energizes your candidate? Making things happen? Attracting people to them? SalesFuel HIRE measures behavioral tendencies like these for each candidate. It also reveals how they act when under the stress of a deadline or demanding customer.
Motivators Assessment
What motivates them to take action? Money? Independence? Power? Helping others? SalesFuel HIRE uses a unique assessment from behavioral mastermind Steven Sisler to show you which of the 7 primary motivators drive each candidate.
Empathy + Decision Making
Will they exaggerate the positive or overlook the negative? Do they have empathy for others? Are they escaping their old job? SalesFuel HIRE reveals how candidates are likely to make decisions on the job and whether they aspire to survive or thrive in your company.
Workplace Behavior
Will they bring their 'best selves' to work… or something else? SalesFuel HIRE's Work Tendencies will show you what you're likely to get when the chips are down, measuring 15 commonly-desired characteristics among high-performing salespeople.
