The Omnia Assessment for pre-employment

Our pre-employment personality assessment uncovers a candidate’s deeper motivators, preferences, and behaviors that a resume or interview may not reveal. You’ll understand how those personality traits will affect their performance in the role you’re looking to fill. You can predict job compatibility by gauging the similarity or dissimilarity of a candidate to the job requirements.

You can also identify the personality patterns required to be successful in the position and your company culture, and to work effectively with their peers and prospective manager.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the Omnia Behavioral Assessment?

The Omnia Behavioral Assessment, or simply the Omnia Assessment, is a scientifically validated, EEOC-compliant, bias-free tool designed to measure an individual’s behavioral tendencies in the workplace.

Unlike generic personality tests, this behavioral assessment provides insights into a person’s natural work style, core motivations, communication preferences, and leadership potential.

2. How does the Omnia Behavioral Assessment work?

Founded on solid psychometric principles, the Omnia Behavioral Assessment is a quick, powerful 3-part self-evaluation tool. Part 1 asks participants how they think coworkers would describe them by selecting adjectives from a checklist. Part 2 requests participants to describe themselves using words from the same checklist. And Part 3 is a short information-gathering questionnaire.

The results of parts 1 and 2 help determine an individual’s four personality aspects relevant to the workplace: assertiveness, communication style, pace, and structure.

Most individuals complete this behavioral assessment in just 10 minutes. Once finished, it generates the Omnia Behavioral Profile—a snapshot of four core personality aspects in an intuitive 8-column format. The column height indicates an individual’s levels of assertiveness and sociability, preferred pace, and amount of structure they require, which is benchmarked against the role the candidate is being evaluated for or the position an employee is being developed into.

3. What does the Omnia Behavioral Assessment measure?

The Omnia Behavioral Assessment measures four core behavioral traits:

Assertiveness – The drive to take charge and make things happen
Communication style – The preferred way of sharing ideas during social interactions and teamwork
Pace – The measure of speed at which a person operates
Structure – The degree of dependence on rules and processes

By evaluating these four factors, the behavioral assessment helps employers understand individuals’ natural strengths, challenge areas, motivators, and interaction styles.

These insights are valuable for employee selection, development, retention, engagement, and motivation, while giving employees insights for self-awareness and personal growth. It’s the perfect way to bridge communication gaps, assign project roles, and build team cohesiveness.

4. Why is a behavioral assessment important for hiring?

Using behavioral assessment for hiring allows organizations to predict job fit based on workplace-relevant behavioral strengths that resumes or interviews may not reveal.

Behavioral assessment eliminates hiring biases, helps predict job compatibility, and matches candidates to roles where they are likely to thrive.

For example, an individual with high assertiveness and strong attention to detail is likely well-suited for a project management role, while someone with high assertiveness and sociability often excels in sales.

5. Can a behavioral assessment be used in talent initiatives other than hiring?

Yes, absolutely. What makes the Omnia Behavioral Assessment different from other behavioral assessments is its versatility. The insights gained from behavioral profiles during hiring can fuel your employee development, engagement, and retention strategies. They can also support strategic initiatives such as promoting internal mobility and enhancing team dynamics.

6. How can you use the Omnia Behavioral Assessment for employee development?

The Omnia Behavioral Assessment provides managers and supervisors with a clear understanding of an individual’s traits, preferences, strengths, and potential growth areas. This information can be used to develop personalized training or career development plans and provide opportunities for each team member to maximize their strengths.

For example, if an employee tends to be overly critical of themselves and colleagues, the behavioral assessment might reveal high perfectionism (tall column 8). With this knowledge, employers can work with the employee to develop action plans for managing this tendency, improving relationships, and assigning tasks that align with that characteristic. Perfectionism can be valuable in many roles, such as financial positions, support roles, and customer service.

7. How can you use the Omnia Behavioral Assessment for employee motivation and engagement?

The Omnia Behavioral Assessment provides valuable insights that help leaders effectively motivate their teams. By understanding each employee’s natural tendencies, managers can create targeted engagement strategies.

For example, employees with high assertiveness (tall column 1) respond well to competitive challenges and leadership opportunities, while those with low assertiveness (tall column 2) prefer team-based incentives with minimal risk. Similarly, highly social team members appreciate collaborative projects and public recognition, while reserved, task-oriented employees thrive with more solitary, data-oriented assignments and low-key recognition of their skills and knowledge.

By tailoring motivation approaches to match these behavioral profiles, leaders can significantly increase productivity, job satisfaction, and overall engagement across their teams.

8. How is the Omnia Behavioral Assessment an effective tool for building successful teams?

The insights from the Omnia Behavioral Assessment help team members understand how to work together more effectively and leverage their unique strengths. Managers can develop strategies to build cohesive, productive teams by understanding each member’s natural tendencies and work style.

For example, cautious analytical types prefer advance notice of meeting topics, even for brainstorming sessions. They appreciate the time to organize their thoughts and may feel “put on the spot” without preparation. Without this consideration, they might not participate fully, causing frustration for everyone involved.

A behavioral assessment can also identify potential conflict areas within teams. When team members have significantly different work styles, this can lead to communication gaps and misunderstandings. By identifying these potential conflicts early, managers can develop strategies to improve communication and collaboration.

Additionally, when team members understand how they naturally communicate and process information compared to others, it creates awareness and appreciation for these differences.

9. How does the Omnia Behavioral Assessment help identify leadership potential?

You can use insights from the Omnia Behavioral Assessment to identify potential candidates for leadership positions or succession planning. The assessment evaluates specific traits most often associated with effective leadership, such as assertiveness, independence, and resilience.

The Omnia Behavioral Assessment generates a Leadership Profile by evaluating candidates on these traits and identifying them as one of 17 distinct leadership personality styles, each with unique behavioral tendencies and communication techniques.

10. How does the Omnia Team work with companies that use the Omnia Behavioral Assessment?

We assign a dedicated Customer Success Manager (CSM) to companies using the Omnia Behavioral Assessment. Our CSMs and analysts work closely with you to understand job roles, expectations from the candidates, and what success looks like in specific positions. They help benchmark against top performers in those roles within your company, or they can use the industry benchmarks developed over our decades of experience with common critical positions. Once candidates or employees complete the assessment and their behavioral profiles are ready, our CSMs review the profiles with you over a call and provide expert advice.

The relationship with your CSM extends beyond hiring. Companies engage with our CSMs when planning employee training programs or seeking ways to improve team dynamics. It’s an ongoing partnership where our analysts evaluate your needs and help you make informed talent decisions with our customized solutions.

11. How does the Omnia Behavioral Assessment differ from Myers-Briggs (MBTI) and DiSC?

The Omnia Behavioral Assessment is specifically tailored for business and workplace applications.

Five key differences are:

Focus on workplace behavior: The Omnia Behavioral Assessment helps you make informed hiring, development, and team-building decisions, whereas MBTI and DiSC focus more on general personality insights.
Direct prediction of workplace performance: Unlike MBTI, which categorizes individuals into broad personality types, or DiSC, which focuses on communication and work styles, the Omnia Behavioral Assessment provides clear, data-driven analysis of how candidates or employees will perform in specific roles within specific industries.
Customizable for business needs: The insights from the Omnia Behavioral Assessment are tailored to specific talent needs including hiring, leadership development, succession planning, and team dynamics. It provides benchmarking capabilities to compare candidates against top performers in specific roles—something MBTI and DiSC don’t offer.
Versatile and nuanced: MBTI assigns people to one of 16 personality types, and DiSC categorizes individuals into four main behavioral styles. The Omnia Behavioral Assessment instead provides a nuanced, personalized behavioral profile, offering a more flexible and individualized understanding of a person’s work tendencies.
Identifies the potential presence of stress: MBTI and DiSC can suggest ways in which stress may impact behavior, but the Omnia Behavioral Assessment evaluates three specific stress factors. These result in low, optimal, or elevated ratings for: Perspective (potential problems with judgment or decisiveness), Intensity (lowered focus or extremes in behavior), and Energy (low stamina or higher potential for burnout).
