LAKE JACKSON, Texas TDECU has deployed job candidate assessment tools from Rise Performance Group in its insurance and investment divisions, for its hiring, internal promotion and transfer decisions.
The company said the assessment tools are designed to help TDECU determine the best qualities among its employees and then determine how well potential new hires or job transfer candidates fit with those qualities.
The credit union, which anticipates hiring some 180 new employees this year, has been using the Rise assessment tools since January. TDECU said the tools are working well not only for new hires but for assessing individuals for other positions in the credit union.
“Our strategy has been to identify up-and-coming agents in whom we can invest in terms of licensing,” explained Vandi Theriot, vice president of talent services for the $2-billion credit union. “It really helps to have the assessment information in what is otherwise a very subjective hiring process.”
