What are Benchmarks?

Benchmarks are target score ranges that predict the likelihood of ‘fit’ and success in a given role or environment. Taken together, they reflect an “ideal profile” of traits to be a top performer. Benchmarks can serve as a standard point of reference to compare the profiles of candidates. They may also be used for current employees to uncover areas for developing and coaching when compared to the ‘high performer’ profile.
