Hogan General Employability

Learn more

The General Employability Report is a pre‑hire screening assessment designed to answer one essential hiring question: Will this person contribute positively to our organisation?

It assesses an individual’s overall employability—defined as their ability to find and retain a job—by measuring the core capabilities required to perform well in almost any role, particularly entry‑level and high‑volume positions.

 

What does it measure?

The report evaluates three universal employability competencies:

  • People Skills – the ability to get along with others, work cooperatively, and build effective working relationships
  • Learning Skills – the ability to learn essential job tasks quickly and adapt as job requirements change
  • Work Ethic – the ability to take instruction, work hard, remain dependable, and deliver high‑quality work on time

Together, these competencies predict how reliably someone will show up, learn the job, and work effectively with others—regardless of role or industry.

 

How the report is used

The General Employability Report is designed for fast, fair, and scalable hiring decisions:

  • Ready‑to‑use screening tool for entry‑level and early‑career roles
  • Provides a clear Fit Recommendation (Recommended / Not Recommended)
  • Includes overall and competency‑level scores
  • Offers behavioural interview questions linked to each competency
  • Delivered in a single‑page report for ease of interpretation

This makes it especially effective for organisations managing large applicant volumes, where speed and consistency are critical.

 

Assessment design & credibility

  • Driven by the Hogan Personality Inventory (HPI), a well‑established personality assessment used globally
  • Assessment time: approximately 5–15 minutes
  • Designed to be nondiscriminatory, equitable, and inclusive
  • Certification and product training are recommended, but not mandatory for basic use

 

Typical target roles

The General Employability Report is most commonly used for:

  • Entry‑level roles
  • Graduate and early‑career positions
  • Customer service, retail, operations, and frontline roles
  • High‑volume recruitment campaigns

It focuses on how someone works, rather than what technical skills they already have, making it ideal where attitude, reliability, and learning ability matter most.
