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 actually excel in the position. According to research by Drake International, creators of the Drake P3® assessment, 87% of job failures are due to personality and cultural mismatch rather than a lack of ability or skills.
Most hiring processes rely heavily on resumes, interviews, and gut instinct. These methods reveal whether a candidate can do the job, but they rarely predict whether that candidate will thrive in your specific environment. DrakeP3 closes this gap by providing objective, science-based behavioral and personality insights that go far beyond surface-level evaluation. Predictive Performance Profiling works by building a custom Job Profile based on the actual behaviors and strengths of your existing top performers. Candidates are then measured against this profile across dimensions that traditional interviews consistently miss, including personal strengths, decision-making patterns, motivational drivers, leadership style, energy levels, and stress responses. This data-driven approach allows hiring managers to identify candidates with real top-performer potential who will integrate naturally into your organization’s culture. The result is fewer costly mis-hires, stronger team dynamics, and a more complete picture of every candidate before you make a commitment.
A custom Job Profile is built from your existing top performers' behaviors and strengths.
Personal strengths and decision-making patterns are evaluated through validated instruments.
Leadership style, energy levels, and stress responses are measured under real-world conditions.
Candidates are compared against the Job Profile to identify future high-performing contributors.
Clear, practical results are delivered in formats hiring managers can use right away.
P3 insights complement interviews and evaluations to complete your overall candidate picture.
The cost of a bad hire extends far beyond the wasted salary. It disrupts teams, slows momentum, and erodes confidence across the organization. DrakeP3 significantly reduces this risk by introducing an objective, data-driven dimension to your hiring process that identifies fit before the offer is made. Unlike generic personality assessments, P3 is purpose-built for hiring. It does not simply describe who a candidate is. It predicts how they will perform in your specific role and your specific culture. Many of our clients also use P3 beyond hiring, applying it to internal promotions, leadership development, and team optimization. Whether you are filling one critical role or building out an entire leadership team, DrakeP3 gives you the confidence to make decisions based on evidence rather than intuition alone.
P3 matches candidates against a custom Job Profile built from your actual top performers, making it directly predictive of on-the-job success.
The candidate assessment takes approximately 20 to 30 minutes to complete online with results available quickly.

The Carlisle Group and Brian Schrift provided prompt, professional and thorough service during a successful search to fill an opening in our Executive Management Team. I would highly recommend The Carlisle Group to any insurance company looking to hire quality employees.
The team at The Carlisle Group were amazing partners from beginning to end. We received constant contact and updates along the process for our Executive Director search. 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.
Brett is terrific to work with and of the highest ethics. We ended up hiring someone we internally sourced and Brett went above and beyond to share that he thought that was the correct decision.
Having worked with numerous insurance recruiting firms in the past, I can honestly say that Brian Schrift and The Carlisle Group are the best in their field. They are responsive, professional and very knowledgeable. I enthusiastically recommend them.
Excellent service and prompt solution to our issues.
The Carlisle Group and Kaitlyn Vinson have become trusted partners in the ever-tough business of landing and retaining top talent. Kaitlyn has been exceptional in taking the time to learn [about] our company and culture. She’s a heavy hitter in the recruiting arena finding and delivering Rock Star talent routinely.
I love working with Kaitlyn! She’s the best recruiter I’ve ever worked with. She takes the time to understand our needs and vets the candidates thoroughly. Kaitlyn knows what’s going on in the market and doesn’t give excuses when she’s facing challenges in sourcing; instead, she comes [up] with ideas and suggestions on how we can alter the search while still meeting our needs. We’ve been very happy with the candidates she has placed for us, and the candidates are also very complimentary of her. When I have Kaitlyn on a search, I know it is a good investment for my company, and I feel that it’s a true partnership.
The search was well planned and executed with consistent communication and follow-up from start to finish. The team went above and beyond to understand our organization and the mission of the Club to be able to connect us with qualified, highly reputable candidates in our market. We confidently announced the promotion of our new executive director at our annual gala in November. I would highly recommend TCG to any organization looking for professionals to help build a successful management team.
We had a complicated search process because of our committee consensus approach. Brett walked us through each and every state of the process, found a solid pool of candidates, and guided us through the selection. [He was] super responsive [and has] excellent communication skills. [He] handled prickly issues with ease.
I had never used a recruiter before, and this was the first time we had hired a senior-level position. Brian Schrift was a real business partner, found out what I needed, and provided much better screened candidates than I was getting via any other method. He helped us raise our expectations and provided a candidate that will help Farmers become a better Company. Of the dozen or so recruiters that call me, none can compare to Brian.
I had the pleasure of working with Tony Frey from The Carlisle Group. I appreciated his level of engagement, persistence, follow-through, and the ability to meet tight deadlines. He produced highly quality candidates for our review, and he successfully helped us hire our next President/CEO. I would highly recommend Tony Frey for high level executive search needs.

My favorite thing about how The Carlisle Group works is they truly take their time to understand our culture and needs. They are extremely responsive, engaging, and always proactive with communicating status updates on each search. Every candidate we meet could very easily be hired, and we have had multiple searches where we ended up hiring two people because the talent was that good. Marc Gyimesi and The Carlisle Group are outstanding!
I have worked directly with Brett Myers in a support role for Swarthmore Co-op. He found excellent candidates, he kept in close communication with the search committee, and I felt heard and respected by him at every step.
Brian Schrift provided our company with very qualified candidates for two management- level positions. He was very professional and responsive in our search. I would recommend Brian Schrift and The Carlisle Group if you are looking for insurance professionals.
We recently conducted a COO search utilizing TCG and Chief Sales Officer Tony Frey to spearhead the process. Tony was very thorough in taking the time to learn about our organization, the position, and needs. I received timely and prompt communications regarding the prospective candidates. I would recommend TCG and their services.
[Kaitlyn] has easily become my recruiter of choice. She is extremely professional and excellent at sourcing qualified candidates in a timely manner. She is extremely thorough and asks the right questions [at] the front end, so she is prepared to search for exactly the type of candidate we need. Most recruiters just send a resume, but I find the extra effort Kaitlyn puts in with additional information about the candidates to be extremely helpful for me and our hiring managers. The other characteristic I truly appreciate about Kaitlyn is she is not pushy. Kaitlyn is truly a pleasure to work with.
Brett is a fantastic person. I thoroughly enjoy working with him. I appreciate Brett Myers and The Carlisle Group as a company that cares about finding the right people for the right jobs. My experience has been very professional, and I would highly recommend to others.
