We partnered with Vanderbloemen Search Group to create a comprehensive assessment designed to evaluate the standing on the 12 data driven traits of today's top performers and high achievers. In Vanderbloemen’s research and experience in completing over 2,500 executive searches and over 30,000 interviews, they found that employees with these 12 traits stand out from the crowd and are tremendously valuable to an organization.
