What do you like best about The Predictive Index?

Predictive Index is the best! It is so easy to use and has been essential for building our team starting with Design to figure out what kind of team we were to using it to identify who/where we needed to hire. Kat and the PI team were so helpful in getting our team set up on how to use PI. Once we got rolling, it was so easy to use. Hire has been our biggest flex of the year in our hiring process. It not only makes the hiring process a breeze and helps identify the most qualified candidates, it also provides amazing questions to use during the interview process. Additionally, Inspire has helped our team learn how to communicate with one another better and grow both individually and as a team. There has not been a day in the last year where I haven't either referred to PI or accessed it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about The Predictive Index?

Nothing. It has become an essential part of our team's toolbox. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is The Predictive Index solving and how is that benefiting you?

The hiring process, team building process, and employee individual growth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about The Predictive Index?

I have been an analyst using the Pi tool for11 years now and I absolutely love it! I have worked with many other behavioral tools and Pi is by far the most "inclusive". Also an awesome tool for team building! I have conducted over 7000 surveys myself and absolutely love it! We have incorporated the Pi into our company culture and all of the courses that we design so Pi is becoming a way of lif for our team members and leaders... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about The Predictive Index?

The software and platform has improved so much over the years from graphics, dowloads, and integrated capabilities. I don't really have any major complaints except for the Teams functions within the Talent Optimization tool and its tracking and reporting. Maybe allow larger Analytics team sizes up to 50? Also make connecting Pi assesments or duplicates easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is The Predictive Index solving and how is that benefiting you?

team building, building relationships, and helping individuals with their career and leadership development which then feeds into our overall succession plan. Content within the Learn platform and also our Managers are starting to learn how to coach to their team members with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about The Predictive Index?

As an internal team consultant, I appreciate the PI website - it's easy to send links to assessment takers, organize teams using folders, and run/send/download reports as needed. Very user friendly and pretty intuitive. My users really appreciate - actually, are amazed by - how much the assessment "gets them" based on only a few questions. Also the reports are quite user friendly which helps individuals increase their self-awareness and make the insights actionable for themselves and with those they work with. We have an awesome PI consultant who helps our internal team continuously improve in our understanding and delivery of the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about The Predictive Index?

It is a little clunky to run/send/download reports for a group of participants. Some of the reports are too similarly named, causing confusion for users ("Management Development Report" and "Management Strategy Guide" for example..."Placard" isn't a useful title either). Personal and Management Development Guides are essentially the same, duplicative and confusing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is The Predictive Index solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are using it to GENERALLY improve performers' self-awareness and team interactions...rather than to solve specific problems. We usually deliver the assessment and debriefs to intact teams. We sometimes use it in coaching individual performers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about The Predictive Index?

We highly value how PI categorizes the survey into four key areas, providing a clear and comprehensive analysis of candidates' strengths and weaknesses in relation to job requirements. This tool allows us to efficiently and effectively streamline our hiring process by narrowing down our applicant pool with precision. Additionally, PI is incredibly user-friendly and seamlessly integrates into our recruitment workflow, as we utilize it for all applicants. Given its effectiveness and ease of use, we strongly recommend PI to companies seeking a reliable and data-driven approach to hiring. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about The Predictive Index?

Only recommendation would be a full functioning App that can be used on a Phone and a Tablet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is The Predictive Index solving and how is that benefiting you?

PI is instrumental in helping us acquire higher-quality candidates and make well-informed hiring decisions, ensuring we bring the right people onto our team. By leveraging this tool, we not only improve our immediate hiring outcomes but also strengthen our organization in the long run. As we continue to grow, having the right talent in place is essential for maintaining productivity, fostering a positive work culture, and achieving our long-term business goals. PI has become a crucial part of our hiring strategy, allowing us to build a strong, capable, and well-aligned team.Its helping us acuire better candidates and hiring teh right people. This benefits us long term and we grow our team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about The Predictive Index?

I love how easy to use the platform is with so many resources available to make full use of the Predictive Index. The support team is incredibly helpful as well. The tool itself is so insightful and can be used in multiple ways - from training/coaching, hiring right for the role & your team, and understanding an individual's strengths and where they can further improve and also building balanced teams and workplaces. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about The Predictive Index?

Not a downside but there is a lot of training involved in learning how to read a PI which can make it harder for others in the organizations to have a deep level of knowledge on PI as it's usually held with the experts who have had training. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is The Predictive Index solving and how is that benefiting you?

Helping us find the right fit for a role, help identify succession planning and coaching tools for people managers, and how to best lead someone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about The Predictive Index?

Beyond the better hiring, the PI platform helps us with better communication throughout the organization. The more you leverage the PI Platofrm and PI Learn, the more authentic the communication is between peers, managers, owners, and clients. Our PI consultant is always available to help and guide us whenever we need her. The insight into people is extremely helpful and on point. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about The Predictive Index?

The implementation takes longer than expected. It is ALL necessary, and the more upfront work you do, the better the tool, but is is time consuming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is The Predictive Index solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are a multicultural organization. Using the PI platform, specifically PI Learn, with our team has helped bridge some cultural gaps by helping people learn how to communicate the way someone else and hear. The relationship guide is priceless in our organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about The Predictive Index?

The primary reason we use the PI for evaluating candidates is the accuracy of the results. It informs us about details of their character, likes/dislikes, as they relate to the job. We use it for EVERY candidate that we are considering. It's a nicely built site that is easy for me to create a new candidate profile and when needed, a job. We're not yet using the full suite of features, but considering it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about The Predictive Index?

We're not using the full suite yet, so, I'm unaware of all the possible features. For example, I'd be curious if they have technical skill assessments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is The Predictive Index solving and how is that benefiting you?

It helps us better understand the personality and characteristics of the candidates. When we're looking at multiple candidates for one role, this information is factored in on our decision. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about The Predictive Index?

The Predictive Index excels in providing objective, data-backed insights into employee behavior, motivation, and cognitive abilities. The assessments—typically the Behavioral Assessment and the Cognitive Assessment—offer a comprehensive view of an individual's working style, preferences, and problem-solving abilities. This helps employers make more informed decisions regarding hiring, team dynamics, and leadership development.

Whether you’re a small business or a large corporation, PI offers flexibility. The platform provides a range of customizable features, including tailored job profiles, which can match candidates to specific roles based on their behavioral traits. Additionally, as companies grow, PI’s scalability makes it a viable solution for evolving organizational needs.

One of PI's standout features is its ability to enhance team dynamics. By identifying behavioral patterns, it allows organizations to construct more effective teams, balancing personality types, skill sets, and work styles. This results in better collaboration, reduced conflict, and increased overall productivity.

Despite the complex data analysis behind it, the PI platform is impressively user-friendly. It offers clear visualizations and actionable insights that are easy for HR professionals, managers, and leaders to interpret. This accessibility makes it easier to incorporate into existing workflows without requiring deep technical expertise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about The Predictive Index?

While the user interface is intuitive, mastering the full potential of PI’s suite of features does come with a slight learning curve. HR professionals or managers unfamiliar with psychometric testing may need some time to fully understand and implement the tool effectively.

PI is highly quantitative, and while this offers objectivity, it can sometimes lack the nuanced understanding that qualitative assessments (such as interviews or peer reviews) can provide. Relying solely on PI may lead to overlooking important context, such as emotional intelligence or specific job-related skills.

For smaller businesses or startups, PI's pricing may be a barrier. The platform can be pricey, especially for organizations that want to use its full suite of services, including advanced analytics and custom solutions. While the return on investment can be significant, the upfront cost may not be justifiable for all companies.

While PI is incredibly useful for many industries, it’s not a perfect fit for every organization. Businesses with highly specialized needs, or those in creative or non-traditional sectors, may find its framework less adaptable to their specific culture or recruitment processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is The Predictive Index solving and how is that benefiting you?

It has helped us hire the right people, manage our associates through employee performance issues, design teams in ways that we never thought possible, and help our employees and teams perform better than ever. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about The Predictive Index?

I really enjoyed using The Predictive Index. It was quick and easy to complete, and it gave me an accurate picture of how I see myself at work. The results were spot on and provided great insights into how others perceive me. Plus, it offered helpful tips on how I can improve my interactions with colleagues. I especially liked that it showed me how to work best with my team by highlighting areas where our results complemented each other and where they didn't. Knowing the best way to work with my teammates based on their results was super beneficial. I often refer back to it, and I appreciate that I can always schedule an appointment with my PI representative if I need further clarification on anything. Overall, it's a fantastic tool for anyone looking to grow personally and professionally! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
