A Surprising Finding…The typical interview increases the likelihood of choosing the best candidate by less than 2%.
In other words, if you just "flipped" a coin you would be correct 50% of the time. If you added an interview you would only be right 52% of the time.

Predictive Index The Predictive Index (PI) is a scientifically validated management tool that
offers fresh understanding of the individual needs and drives that make people work.

![Page 23: Best Practices in Hiring and Retaining Talent 2012 Florida Tax Collector’s Association Fall Conference Presenter: Cory Godwin, Chief Deputy Tax Collector.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070407/56649e215503460f94b0d491/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
How it Works One of the key issues all businesses wrestle with is employee
turnover. The PI helps managers identify what behavioral traits a job requires.
You compare an individual's PI results (behaviors) against the job needs to make better selection and hiring decisions.
