Key Components of Our Screening and Selection Solutions.
Mindmill’s solutions enhance employee retention from day one by ensuring better job matches, identifying development needs early, and boosting job satisfaction—helping organisations build a stable, productive workforce while minimising the costs of staff turnover.
Competency Mapping
Mindmill’s Role Mapping process is designed to identify job challenges and the competencies necessary for successful job performance. This involves:
- Reviewing job roles, competency frameworks, and available person specifications or job descriptions.
- Pinpointing the key skills and characteristics required for each role through job analysis.
We examine both Behavioural (Personality) and Cognitive competencies, recognising their impact on job fit. Based on these insights, we create tailored Assessment Batteries that may include:
- Personality Assessments
- Cognitive Evaluations
- Motivations
- Work Style Profiles
- Leadership Assessments
- Body-Clock & Bio Rhythms
- Situational Judgement Assessments
The results are summarised in a Job Match Report, highlighting candidates’ strengths and weaknesses relative to the specific role.
Customised Data Output
Our data output is tailored to each client’s needs and can include:
- Single Scores
- Job Match Data
- Raw Data
- Full Psychometric Reports
- Custom Client Reports
Our screening methodologies are seamlessly integrated into the client’s workflow and technology, ensuring smooth assessment delivery directly to candidates. Once assessment data is available, candidates are ranked by job match, creating instant shortlists.
Job Benchmarking
When performance data becomes available, it can be used to identify key trends in successful employees. This helps in establishing benchmark markers that inform the success profiles of future candidates.

A bad hire refers to a new employee who isn't a good fit for their role or the broader organization. While many people associate bad hires with employees who quickly leave the business, it's important to recognize that a bad hire can also be someone who underperforms or doesn't align well with the company's culture.
