A More Complete, More Effective Hiring Process

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.”

What is Predictive Performance Profiling (P3)?

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:

  • Personal strengths
  • Decision-making approach
  • Motivational drivers
  • Leadership style
  • Energy levels
  • Stress responses

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

A successful hire isn’t just about skills and experience – it’s about fit. P3 helps you:

  1. Define the Ideal Candidate – Build a job profile based on your existing top performers’ behaviors and strengths.
  2. Match Candidates Accurately – Compare applicants against this profile to identify future key contributors.
  3. Ensure Long-Term Success – Go beyond basic qualifications to understand the behaviors and motivations that drive high performance.

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

Emotional Intelligence Assessments – EQ-I 2.0

At TCG, we leverage the MHS EQ-i 2.0 assessment as a strategic, data-driven resource to enhance executive performance, leadership effectiveness, and organizational success. The MHS EQ-i 2.0 provides quantifiable insights into the emotional intelligence (EQ) of candidates—one of the most critical factors in executive decision-making, team leadership, and business impact.

By evaluating five core emotional intelligence composites—Self-Perception, Self-Expression, Interpersonal, Decision Making, and Stress Management—along with 15 subscales, EQ-i 2.0 delivers actionable intelligence that helps our clients:

  • Identify high-potential leaders
  • Strengthen executive resilience and adaptability
  • Optimize leadership and team dynamics
  • Enhance decision-making under pressure
  • Drive cultural transformation and growth

Through customized analysis and coaching, we equip organizations with the tools to harness emotional intelligence as a competitive advantage.  Whether you’re refining your leadership pipeline or enhancing executive performance, EQ-i 2.0 is an essential resource for sustainable growth.

Professional Reference Checks for Prospective Candidates

Ensuring the right hire is critical to your organization’s success.  Our comprehensive professional reference checks provide deep insights into a candidate’s work history, performance, leadership style, and cultural fit.  Leveraging our vast network and proprietary database, we verify credentials and assess key competencies through direct conversations with former employers, colleagues, and industry peers.

With our thorough and confidential approach, we help you mitigate hiring risks and make informed decisions with confidence.  Partner with us to secure vetted talent with proven track records.

Position Profile Creation

Are you reviving an old position or building a new one from the ground up? Do you know you need a role but struggle to pinpoint the necessary skills and personality traits? Are you unsure how to establish the right KPIs, organizational structure, and performance evaluations to ensure success?

Finding the right candidate goes beyond matching a resume to a job description—it requires identifying an individual who aligns with your company culture and is motivated to contribute long-term. That’s why a well-defined Position Profile is critical.

At TCG, we specialize in developing detailed, strategic position profiles tailored to your unique needs, ensuring your team’s growth and long-term success.

  • Behavioral Analysis – Utilizing Drake P3, where key stakeholders complete a brief online assessment to create a Job Profile that highlights essential behavioral traits for success in the role.
  • Research & Strategy Development – Conducting internal and external research to analyze how similar roles achieve success and integrating these insights into your position profile.

Deliverables & Impact

We create an actionable Position Profile that includes:
