The Home Service Expert Podcast · Your Hiring Strategy Is Setting You Up to Fail Before Day One | Mike Matalone · 24 Jun 2026 podcast

um it's it's been around about 16 years now uh it i i believe it's one of the greater you know uh tools out there because they not only provide you the tools they provide the training and they constantly provide more tools they're always adding to it that being said there's plenty others that are good too the predictive index is a really good tool

And one of the things you want to find out is, does it have a target job profile, the tool that helps you to figure out what those target behaviors are, and then a means to be able to match up the candidate or the employee's personality assessment against it?

So Predictive Index has that.

DISC that most people are familiar with.

Well, what most people don't know is the guy that created the DISC back in the 40s didn't take out an intellectual property on it.

So if you wanted to create your own personality assessment, you could and call it a DISC and you could do that, which means there's a lot of really cheap DISC tools out there that are not scientifically validated.

On the other hand, there's a handful that are really good validated DISC tools.

And but the one thing I don't like about disk is they provide templates to say, oh, well, here's a great PM profile or here's a great salesperson profile, right, or CFO profile.

But they're kind of generic, but it's better than nothing.

So at least use that.

But better is having a tool where you can customize it because you might have some particular behaviors for your sales rep, your CFO, PM, whatever, that are different than another company based on your culture, how you operate.

So the closer you can pinpoint that, the better chance you're going to have at succeeding of getting a candidate employee to match up to it.

So what the MPO does, it actually takes those traits and puts it into a graph.

And then the candidates report also comes in a graph and it just overlays it.

And then it's so you can see visually the matchup.

And then on a five point scale, it'll tell you how close they are in the match.

But then the best part of the tool is why I like the MPO is then it also gives you the interview questions.

So if there's gaps in the match, it'll say, you know, here are three behavioral based interview questions around attention to detail or compliance or, you know, self-confidence or whatever those things are that you're looking for.

So it helps you to be able to utilize those tools more effectively.

But yeah, there's probably hundreds of assessment tools out there that you're aware of.
