Apollo in Performance Appraisal & Management
A well-validated and yet economically priced online personality test supported by registered psychologists in Asia.
If people are under-performing, The Apollo Profile is a valuable and objective aid for a counsellor or manager trying to help. The Profile provides 34 factors that relate to job performance, including inter-personal style and certain values. Because these are key factors, it is most likely that a diagnosis can be made of sources of a "just average" performance, if the sources are intrinsic to the person rather than associated with external factors.
The Apollo Profile can also play a useful role in a performance appraisal system.
Because everybody is different, and responds to different motives, the diagnosis provided by The Apollo Profile enables managers to identify the best ways to motivate, reward and manage their own individual staff. The Apollo Profile also provides an objective platform to discuss personal style with the candidate, especially where managers have also completed their profiles and are willing to share the data.
Exception Report
Apollo's exception report is based on a comparison of the test candidate with others in their group (i.e., sales, executives, general workforce). Apollo compares the candidate's profile with those rated as excellent in these areas and highlights exceptions in an easy to understand way.
Job Profiler Report
Test your candidates and then compare all of them against excellence in the role under consideration. SImple to set up and understand. Simply click on any candidate's name to go through to a summary report on that candidate.
Narrative Report
The Narrative Report uses colour coding to show at a glance how the test candidate's personality compares to others rated as excellent in their group. In addition, explanatory text written by a psychometrician and management consultant is provided to ensure understanding.
Candidate Feedback Report
Show your interest in people development by providing this report to successful or unsuccessful hires - there's no additional cost as with Apollo, you simply pay once per candidate. This report explains the candidate's personality profile and offers advice for possible development.
Development Report
This is a longer version of the Candidate Feedback Report above. Additional background data and analysis is provided. Again, this can be given to both successful and unsuccessful applicants for jobs or used more systematically as part of a full training needs and organisational development program.
Summary Report
The summary personality report provides a comparison of your candidate with those rated as excellent in the comparison group you have chosen. A brief interpretation of each of the scales is also provided for your candidate.
Areas of Concern Report
This is similar to the Exception Report, but adds detail. Rather than using only the simple colour coding found in the Exception Report, the Areas of Concern report shows where the candidate scored compared to excellence in the group and breaks the report into essential, desirable characteristics for the area under consideration.
Apollo Benchmarking
The benchmarking report shows each of the 34 Apollo Personality Test scale scores for your candidate against the comparison group. As a consultancy service, we can assist organisations with their own full scale benchmarking studies which generate comparison groups for future recruitment/selection and development projects.
Apollo Personality reports can be read directly from the website, downloaded in pdf for easy viewing or downloaded as a word (doc) file to enable fast editing as required.
