Hiring the Right Candidate the First Time
When organizations and employees understand what they need from a role, the hiring process becomes more effective. DrakeP3 helps businesses distinguish candidates who perform well in interviews from those who will excel in the actual position.
“87% of job failures are due to personality, not ability. Simply put, the better the fit, the better the hire.”

Predictive Performance Profiling (P3) is a science-based assessment tool that provides objective, behavioral, and personality insights for hiring managers.
For employers, P3 delivers a data-driven approach to hiring—helping to assess a candidate’s:
These crucial insights, which are often overlooked in traditional applications and interviews, allow companies to make more informed hiring decisions and reduce costly hiring mistakes.
Why P3 Works
Unlike other hiring assessments, P3 is designed to integrate into a more complete hiring process. It doesn’t just analyze skills—it identifies candidates with real top-performer potential who will thrive in your organization’s unique culture.
How P3 Enhances Your Hiring Process

Traditional interviews and assessments can reveal who can do the job, but Drake P3 identifies who will excel in it.

Upon completion of the hiring of our new Executive Director, he felt supported for the entire process as well. We are very happy we partnered with The Carlisle Group to assist with our Executive Search.
The Carlisle Group and Kaitlyn Vinson came to us highly recommended, and still they exceeded expectations. Kaitlyn quickly became a trusted member of our hiring team for a critical, yet niche, role. She led us capably – from crafting the job description and determining the must-haves vs. the nice-to-haves all the way through the offer letter and onboarding prep. And we succeeded in finding a great talent – experienced and a good fit. No doubt, she will be our go-to recruiter for our next hire.
