CHARACTER ASSESSMENT

Answer:

Hiring and developing talent has always been challenging. That’s because we know the least about the most important qualification: their CHARACTER. Use KANNY’s verifiable, confidential peer insights to go beyond skills tests, resumes and reference checks. KANNY Insights can inform hiring and development plans based on real-life first-hand data, and result in reduced turnover and cohesive, high-value teams.

Answer:

While these resources can be helpful, they are limited as to what they can uncover. And when the candidate provides all the relevant data, recruiters and hiring managers are left to uncover the truth.

KANNY’s verifiable, confidential insights from people with firsthand insights into the candidate’s character add a data set that is outside the candidate’s direct influence. 

Answer:

While many employers use reference checking, it is not a reliable predictor of future performance. The weaknesses of reference checking are well documented, including occurring too late in the process, referees who are advocates of the candidate, and lacking truly actionable information.

KANNY Insights are different.

• Focused on CHARACTER rather than past performance
• Gathered from coworkers beyond the candidate’s own supplied references
• Valued data throughout the talent timeline
• Statistical algorithm that catches and minimizes bias
• 360 degree feedback spanning a whole career
• Transparent to both the candidate and the potential employer

Answer:

KANNY provides a new and unique data set related to the most important aspect of a candidate – their character. Save time by vetting candidates on this unique metric. Get right to the key points in screening calls.

Answer:

KANNY provides a powerful starting point for uncovering a candidate’s character. Use KANNY Insights to guide interviews. Save time by zeroing in on verifiable character strengths and weaknesses uncovered by KANNY. Understanding how a candidate’s colleagues rate their character is a new and effective way to identify top performers.

Answer:

Top performers crave feedback. Great talent development relies on accurate feedback mechanisms for areas of performance that matter most to the organization. Your team’s character is one of the most important factors to its long-term success. Building growth plans that incorporate KANNY Insights can help your people reach their full potential.

Answer:

Our algorithm weighs the insights that reviewers provide and the circumstances of the reviewers themselves. The result is KANNY Insights. For example, a review by a contractor who worked with the candidate nine years ago on a brief six month project would carry less weight than one from a direct report on the candidate’s team for five of the last six years. 

Answer:

KANNY customers and their teams have access to our database of insights and robust reporting features as part of their recruiting and hiring process.

Answer:

The process is simple for candidates and reviewers. On average, reviewers spend two to three minutes from first click to “submit”. Once there is enough feedback we will share the candidate’s KANNY Insights.

KANNY’s proprietary tech verifies that reviewers have worked with the candidate before requesting a review. Reviewers are also asked to confirm the details of their work history with the candidate as part of the review process. 

Answer:

Yes! KANNY customers will have access to existing KANNY Insights. 

Answer:

KANNY Insights are not a static snapshot. As more of the person’s colleagues submit feedback, results can change. Top performers will use their KANNY Insights to identify areas of potential improvement. 

Answer:

No! We believe that KANNY is a tool to help create a better workplace for everyone. We hope that everyone uses KANNY Insights to continue their career development. 

Answer:

There are two ways a person can impact their KANNY Insights:

1. ask more peers and colleagues to provide feedback; and
2. act on feedback to improve their character in the workplace.

Our technology detects and minimizes reviews that are intentionally attempting to bias results.

Answer:

We believe that people own their KANNY Insights, just like they own their character. They will always have the ability to make their KANNY Insights private.

Our dream is a better workplace by strengthening everyone’s character.
