Yields™ FAQs

Will Yields help me make better choices in my candidate selection?

Accurate, predictable selection is one of the cornerstones in the practice of WRYM. Yields enables Two-Dimensional Selection™ (…whereas conventional selection practices are often anemic and “one dimensional” at best). For optimal work role yields, talent must be specified and chosen for work roles in these two dimensions:

• optimal, sustainable work role performance
• lasting, durable relations

Yields provides the basis for creating a work role design that incorporates both of these vital two dimensions that are so essential to worker affiliations and your work role yields objectives. The work role’s design then guides recruitment activities as well as candidate assessment and appraisal parameters. There are few organizational areas that offer such vast, untapped potential as does improved talent selection based upon solid diagnostics, sound design and subsequent continuous improvement, each based upon measurable evidence.

Many of our jobs do not seem to be desirable enough to the candidates we seek, especially when compared to the other available options they have. Does yields offer any answers in this area?

The competitiveness of work roles is an increasingly common problem, especially when your objective is to gain top talent’s attention and engagement. Fundamentally such recruiting situations demand that you master a specialized form of “consumer marketing.” Yields helps you find and refine the means to make your work roles more compelling and attractive in the minds and hearts of those you are trying to seek, as well as those you seek to retain.

Does Yields provide any guidance for employment advertising, creating job postings or designing our employment web site and branding?

Yes, Yields provides assistance to uncover, design and communicate information about a work role so that it will be most interesting, appetizing and desirable to the audience you are trying to reach and engage.

Your work role information can be optionally placed into a Role Discovery Center™ (RDC™) in order to make an optimal and impactful presentation of information for a candidate or worker (RDCs are not included with Yields and are part of WRYM Systems for integration with employment advertising, job boards and corporate sites. Also from TalentSphere).

Is Yields extensible or compatible with your other products and solutions?

Yes. Yields is TalentSphere’s cornerstone product and all of our other products (such as TalentHarvester™, PerformanceHarvester™, InnovationHarvester™, ChoiceEngine™ and PerfectAgent™) have been designed to take maximum advantage of integration, synthesis and synergies when combining applications.

Will Yields work with Applicant Tracking Systems?

Yes, to a degree, although most ATS systems are geared more toward administrative and automation as opposed to addressing hiring effectiveness and quality. Yields can certainly cause you to make better use of the ATS you have in place by driving better administrative guidelines and parameters. Yields is NOT designed for applicant tracking, interview scheduling, etc. On the other hand, it does provide guidance for the entirety of the hiring process as well as the candidate experience.

Yields sounds too good to be true. Are you guilty of hyperbole?

That is not our intent, though we are unquestionably enthusiastic about the merit and significant returns on the investmest related to the use of Yields within the practice of WRYM. This is a product that "truly keeps on giving" as it is adopted and applied throughout a lifespan of work role relations, ...from design to recruiting to management to transitions (all within vital process of continuous improvement and knowledge). We certainly desire for you to experience its wide spectrum of rewards and are eager to support you in doing so.

Every 6 months we seem to keep suffering from the same problems despite progressive management development programs. Can Yields shed some light on what is going on with this?

This is a common occurrence in many workplaces. Yields can help you find the reasons for this, plus offer a more informed and creative path to solutions that become lasting remedies. Remember, Yields gives the means of discovery of the underlying causes as well as methods for solutions. It is up to you with the usage of Yields to pursue accurate information, have the courage to make the right decisions and to validate that the solutions are indeed what you seek.

We have some great company-wide initiatives underway, but there's always a department or group where nothing seems to work. Can Yields help?

Yes it can, but it may take more than just Yields. Yields is a very potent addition to any workplace, but it is not in itself, omnipotent.

Is my understanding correct that Yields can help me develop and produce instructional guidance for both managers and workers, as well as for recruiters and candidates, all related to any given work role that I choose?

That is a correct understanding. In many cases work roles (and workers within) generate sub-optimal organizational results due to weak, incorrect, incomplete or missing information. There is often missed opportunities in how the information is shared between one or more of these constituents that you mention. Yields addresses much of this widespread need within organizations.

Yields enables thorough assessment, consideration, design and composition of accurate, instructive information that each constituent requires in the optimal execution, engagement, responsiveness and accountabilities related to the work role. Beyond this, Yields also includes a platform of continuous improvement, knowledge management and validating measurement design regarding the many forms of multi-faceted information that is published to the work role's many important audiences.

Ultimately the mind is the source of maximum performance (as well as the majority of performance dysfunctions) from any worker, manager and recruiter, as well as responsiveness from the most desirable candidates. It behooves any organization to extend significant attention and care in "informing the minds" that create the organization's destiny. WRYM and its Yields suite of tools and instruction encourages and equips any organization to achieve mastery in the feeding and nurturing of the minds of its workforce ...diligently and constantly.

Points of views regarding the work to be done or the workplace ecosystem should not be left to chance, fate, extraneous (sometimes toxic) external and internal influences, assumptions, word-of-mouth grapevines and so forth as often is the case. The creation and dissemination of high-quality information about all relevant contexts of a work role, when presented in an effective manner to a well-chosen, well-utilized audience, should inevitably and predictably lead you to the “yields” you seek.
