Our
Principles

Resilience: plan for ‘cycles of change’

Adults develop in a series of change cycles and transitions rather than a straight linear path. We live a chapter, renew ourselves, then move on to the next. Careers follow the same path; we must learn to embrace the rhythm of the cycles and be energized – not defeated – by them.

Continuous Learning: learning is our primary activity, no matter how young or old we are.

The velocity of change in our lives can send individuals and corporations into turmoil. To keep up, we must continue to acquire new and relevant skills, grow in our professions and let them evolve, even though times often appear blurry and chaotic.

Integration: create a multidimensional life

Workdays are longer, vacations are shorter and less frequent, and people are on information overload. The concept of career must be considered in a holistic framework that includes physical, emotional, mental and spiritual energy.

Self-Awareness and Emotional Competency: the soft skills are the hardest

The most intelligent or highly qualified person in an organization may not always have the emotional make-up to handle the stresses of the job environment. In fact, the #1 concern employees have of upper management is poor communication and interpersonal skills. These competencies can and must be developed: up to 90% of leadership success lies in emotional competencies that encompass self-awareness, adaptability, stress management, and interpersonal skills.

Clear and Specific Goals: long and short term direction

Clear goals are executable, sustainable, and attainable. Psychometrically based assessments coupled with structured feedback can provide objective insight into individual strengths, vulnerabilities/blind spots, and targets for improvement. This perspective allows people to assess where they are, and subsequently create a strategy for getting where they want to go clearly, and on-purpose.

Scientific Selection

Select Scientifically

People that present well in an interview don’t always perform well on the job. Poor hiring decisions can generate drama and discord, causing damage to people and profits. Wenroth makes it easier to predict successful performers by offering the most validated and robust assessment tools available, combined with the most nuanced interpretive skills.  Through our Hiring Profile, we do much more than match the specific competencies and characteristics of your culture and job requirements to your candidates.

  • Our consultants personally examine the results of every assessment to determine patterns in the data and behavioral tendencies. Rather than relying exclusively on algorithms, we customize our Profile Summaries to make the critical connections that only an experienced expert can see.
  • We provide a complete narrative of candidate’s strengths and weaknesses, as well as an overall recommendation of High, Moderate, or Low Fit.
  • We review your candidate’s resume and provide specific interview questions from their background and test results that help you further explore any “pink flag” tendencies.
  • All within a 24-hour standard turn-around time.
  • We remain available to discuss your candidate’s Summary after the report has been submitted
  • If requested, we will conduct our own interview to further illuminate Fit Factors or compare candidates competing for the same position.

Armed with this information, you can predict performance, broaden the pool of viable candidates to include those with nontraditional backgrounds, and leverage powerful tools for developing the candidates that you ultimately select.
