Most hiring decisions are made on gut feel and most bad hires reveal themselves long after the interview is over. In this episode, we sit down with Jane Allen, owner of Smart Work Assessments, and Mark Repkin, NCG Sales Coach and Principal of Unicorn Sales Advisory, to introduce the POP™ (Predictor of Potential) Assessment a science-backed tool that Nolan Consulting Group is now certified to offer clients across sales, management, and key roles throughout a trades business. Jane and Mark break down what the assessment actually measures, how it differs from tools like DISC and Myers-Briggs, and how it can transform not just a single hire, but your entire hiring process. We're also sharing details on our upcoming May 20th workshop, designed to help NCG clients benchmark their current team and build a smarter foundation for future hiring.
