At The Predictive Index, we know a thing or two about hiring and leading great people. Our company began 70 years ago with the founding of the PI Behavioral Assessment, and in the decades since, we’ve evolved into so much more.

From pen-and-paper assessments to the modern PI platform you know today, we’re constantly elevating our science to bring you the people insights you need to propel your organization forward. Today, we’re thrilled to announce the latest milestone in that mission.

Introducing Talent Optimization Essentials: the building block for organizational success.

What is Talent Optimization?

The PI software is powered by the Talent Optimization framework. Our philosophy is simple: No matter who you are or what your job title is, you play a crucial role in your organization’s people strategy. Talent acquisition and retention isn’t the responsibility of HR alone—every single employee has a role to play.

Take a typical hiring process. It’s easy to consider hiring “complete” once the talent is recruited and a candidate is selected—but there’s so much more to do after the offer letter is signed:

• Your new hire must onboard and acclimate to their new team.
• Their team members must learn how to communicate and collaborate.
• The manager must keep the group engaged, on task, and working toward new skills.

Engagement and retention is a constant effort. If any part of the Talent Optimization framework breaks down, your organization risks a skills gap or talent shortage.

What is Talent Optimization Essentials?

Talent Optimization Essentials is the easiest way yet to bring Talent Optimization to your organization. This software bundle contains three products that are mission-critical to hiring, developing, and retaining top talent:

• PI Hire: Skip the pain of mishires. Use behavioral and cognitive data to pinpoint the right candidates for the right roles.
• PI Inspire: Upskill internal talent with science-powered development tools, and solve conflict with personalized relationship guides.
• PI Perform: Add PI data to your daily workflow. Lead effective meetings, work collaboratively in group workspaces, and stay accountable to upcoming tasks.

Talent Optimization Essentials is designed for seasoned PI users and new users alike. Whether you’ve used Hire or Inspire for years, or you’re a Perform client looking to see what else the PI platform has to offer, this is the place to start.

Why choose Talent Optimization Essentials?

When you purchase Talent Optimization Essentials, you get access to three of our most popular products at a discounted bundle price. If you own one or two PI products and are looking to expand your subscription, this is the most cost-effective way to do so.

In addition to providing special savings, TO Essentials supports unique functionality. Each product in the bundle integrates with one another, unlocking a suite of post-hire development and engagement tools.

• After finding the right candidate in Hire, seamlessly create an onboarding workspace in Perform between the new hire and their manager.
• Use job data from Hire to initiate coaching conversations between the managers and their report in Inspire.
• Leverage Inspire data in Perform. View Reference Profiles, access 1:1 relationship tips, and even get recommended agenda topics based on your behavioral data.

We recognize that adding new software to your organization can involve change management. To help reduce admin upkeep, we’re also providing a free HRIS integration as part of your TO Essentials bundle. (Note: Some compatibility restrictions may apply, depending on your PI account.) 

Integrate PI with one of 60+ HRIS providers, and ensure your employee data always stays up to date.

The future of Talent Optimization is here.
