In today’s dynamic job market, the quest for talent is unending, especially when it comes to hiring entry-level or early career workers. A common dilemma for employers centers around experience: Who has it, and how much? Yet, perhaps it’s time to approach this from a fresh perspective.

Conventional wisdom suggests that an expert is someone who has spent at least a decade honing their skills through daily, deliberate practice. This definition, while accurate, overlooks the potential inherent in those who have yet to accumulate such extensive experience but are no less capable of exceptional performance. WorkQuest.ai’s approach to hiring is built on this understanding — that the next generation of experts can be identified by their attributes and potential, rather than just their past experiences.

The conventional definition of expertise – 10+ years of deliberate practice in a specific field – does not always align with the needs of today’s dynamic work environments. Employers in various sectors increasingly require employees who demonstrate adaptability, problem-solving acumen, and the ability to make informed decisions.

While experience can be valuable, it isn’t the sole predictor of future success. The entry-level and early career workforce is a rich source of untapped potential. Traditional hiring practices, which often prioritize past experience, often fail to capture the full picture of a candidate’s capabilities and potential for growth. WorkQuest.ai addresses this gap by focusing on what truly matters: the inherent attributes that indicate a candidate’s ability to adapt and excel in any work situation. Through our innovative pre-hire assessments, we enable organizations to identify and invest in future experts, ensuring they hit the ground running from day one.

WorkQuest.ai’s assessments were developed with the understanding that intuition, thinking, problem-solving, and smart decision-making skills are essential elements of expertise – the foundational building blocks to achieving expert performance in any career field as one accumulates job related experience.

These are the competencies that truly differentiate exceptional performers from the rest — and they are precisely what WorkQuest.ai’s assessments are designed to test. Our approach combines low-fidelity and high-fidelity situational assessments to evaluate the skills and personality traits essential for success on the job.
