Recruiting with Personality
Are you hiring? Then you should know that there are some personality types that will thrive in the position you have and there are some that will cope very badly.

It is always better to hire people who are natural over people who are not.
A “Natural” will find your work environment compatible with their personality profile. They will have more opportunity to work to their natural strengths. “Naturals” are less likely to quit and perform better.
“Forced Fits” will always struggle with your work environment. They have to invest a lot of energy just to cope with your environment. So People Maps invented SPB. This helps you determine what your work environment is and which personality types are most likely to cope with it.
