No, it is not systematically considered.

No, not officially. Within the division we offer CliftonStrengths testing for anyone who wishes to take it though.

Senior Director Engineering in Travel and Hospitality2 years ago

Absolutely! Its a key decision point during leadership hiring

For sales reps and sales managers we use an assessment that is not personality (because you can't hire strong sellers that way, or strong sales managers) but rather use the top core sales competencies.

Would love to hear how you all govern it and where the hand-offs/touchpoints are between those groups?
