This article applies to all Hire users in the PI2 platform.
PI Hire contains a database of thousands of real-world jobs. Each of these jobs has a preset Behavioral Target that matches the characteristics people in this role usually have.
When you create a job and input a job title, our software will search through the database and list any close matches.
How to choose a benchmark
If you're creating a new job
From the Hiring Center, select the "Create New Job" button.
Enter the job title.
Click "Continue."
On the left-hand side, select "Choose a PI benchmark."
Select a benchmark from the list.
Select "Save & Continue."
Your Job will be created, and your Behavioral Target will populate based on the PI benchmark.
If you're editing an existing Job
Select a job from the Hiring Center.
Click the "Job Target" tab (if not already selected).
On the left-hand side, select "Choose a PI benchmark."
Select a benchmark from the list.
Select "Save & Continue."
Your Behavioral Target will populate based on the PI benchmark.
Important: When editing a existing job, the Behavioral Target will not automatically default to the PI benchmark you've set.
To ensure you're using the PI benchmark (as opposed to a custom target or a top performer target), click the "Set as Active Target" button.
FAQs
Is is possible to choose a different benchmark once set?
Is is possible to choose a different benchmark once set?
No. Currently, PI Hire does not support the ability to change benchmarks once one's been selected for a job.
Instead, we recommend creating a new job and selecting the desired benchmark. Alternatively, you can set a different target within the existing job, such as a custom target.
