Many businesses face the ongoing challenge of finding the right person to fill specific roles within their teams. Accurately evaluating a candidate's skills and ability to execute the unique responsibilities of a position is essential but often tricky.

In this episode, Rick speaks with Chuck Russell, the founder of BestWork Data. Chuck explains the value of a scientific process in evaluating the ability of candidates to perform the specific tasks of a certain role in a company.

With a rich background in management consulting and a revolutionary approach to personality assessments, Russell explains why you need to make data-driven hiring decisions that match the job's demands with an individual's hardwired traits. 

We debunk common myths about personal development and explore how understanding inherent traits can lead to better job performance and satisfaction. 

Plus, learn about the critical role of "coachability" in evaluating potential hires. 

Best Work Data is the exclusive provider of screening for Alloy Personal Training, and Chuck explains the why behind his particular screen and why it's so relevant in the hiring process.
