Talent Screening

Historically, management has focused on hiring people with experience in the fitness industry. To improve performance, clubs should consider applicants without industry experience, but screen them using the Achiever and a benchmark of the club's top performers in a respective job category. This approach can help select new talent that has the abilities necessary to succeed under that club's management style, compensation plan and targeted marketplace.

The Achiever is an online assessment that can be taken by applicants at any location 24/7. It assesses critical factors for success in a business environment such as intelligence, drive, integrity, personal organization, the ability to develop rapport with people, the ability to convince, ego, ability to close a sale, ability to manage, individual competitive spirit, psychological toughness to overcome obstacles, and incentive orientation.

Fee structure for use of The Achiever in the selection process is as follows:

  1. Individual Achiever assessment: $ 185.00

Achiever assessments may also be purchased in advance to receive a quantity discount:

  1. 10 Achiever assessments: $ 165.00 each

Note: In addition to comparing an applicant to a club's benchmark of top performers, the Achiever report also contains a personal development plan which a supervisor or manager can deploy with the individual to jump start their performance to reach higher levels of success much faster after hire.
