Why PREP?
The Differentiator Your Competitors Can't Match
Supervisor PairMatch shows you manager-candidate compatibility before you make an offer. Where will they click? Where will they clash? What adaptation will the new hire need to make — and do they have the energy reserves to make it?
Insight Matters
Getting the dynamics right as you onboard or promote is essential. Your assessment showed “good fit,” but the candidate clashed with their manager from day one. DiSC told you their behavioral style. It didn’t tell you whether they could handle the stress of the transition — or whether they’d mesh with the person they report to.
You need tools that anticipate and address problems, not just describe the problem better.
PREP Delivers
PREP’s HR tools focus on mismatch prediction. Forty years of research shows one consistent finding: you can predict a bad fit more reliably than a perfect one. PREP’s tools identify red flags while you can still predict them instead of trying to address an entrenched problem.
HR is part of the PREP heart-beat.
The majority of our certified coaches run HR coaching practices — supporting organizations of every size across recruitment, onboarding, retention, and team development — and many love the work enough to continue well into retirement. PREP gives them tools that go deeper than traditional assessments: graphical CORE trait insights that are simple to read and rich in meaning, current motivation and stress indicators that reveal what’s actually happening beneath the surface, and ready-reference communication tools like The Communicator and Pocket Communicator for stronger daily interactions. Where other assessments labeled certain styles as problems to fix, PREP was built to find the strength in every person and help them find their fit.
Job Match For the Real World
Executive Job Match overlays candidate profile on position requirements — plus generates specific interview questions for verification.
Onboarding Readiness
New jobs are high-stress. Change Readiness shows whether the candidate has the resilience for the transition.
Manager Compatibility
Don’t just match candidate to job. Match candidate to supervisor. Supervisor PairMatch predicts friction points before day one.
EEOC Compliant
PREP was designed for Affirmative Action compliance from the start — cross-culturally normed, 8th grade reading level, legally defensible.
