Trustal Recruiting believes that recruitment isn’t about pigeonholing candidates; it’s about sharpening instincts, asking smarter questions, and aligning the right candidates with the right opportunities for your organization.

This past year, our team experienced the DISC assessment firsthand during a dynamic training session. We took our individual profiles, shared insights, and learned how to communicate more effectively both internally and with potential candidates. It was engaging, insightful, and eye-opening.

Through interactive games and activities, we identified different communication styles and practiced adapting our approach. Laughter flowed freely, but the takeaway was serious. DISC is a powerful tool - not just for better teamwork but for smarter hiring.

The training enhanced our ability to recognize traits that align with our clients’ needs. We now ask more insightful questions and gain deeper understanding of how people think, work, and connect which are crucial for making meaningful matches.

Why Trustal Uses DISC in Hiring

Incorporating DISC into the recruiting process offers compelling advantages.

  • It provides a clear picture of a candidate’s behavioral patterns and communication style. It helps predict how a candidate will fit within your team and company culture. It enables you to select individuals who possess both the technical skills and interpersonal qualities aligned with your values.

  • DISC insights reveal candidates’ strengths and development areas, allowing us to match them to roles where they can thrive. This leads to higher satisfaction, lower turnover, and better productivity; everyone benefits when the fit is right.

  • Moreover, DISC promotes objectivity. It creates a common language for discussing personality traits, reducing biases and subjective judgments. Plus, the insights inform onboarding and development, ensuring new hires are set up for ongoing success.

How Trustal Implements DISC

We leverage DISC in two key ways.

  • Internally, we use it to strengthen our team communication and collaboration. With clients, we incorporate DISC assessments to enhance their hiring processes and team dynamics.

  • If you’re ready to improve your hiring, team communication, or onboarding with DISC, let’s connect. We can help you attract and retain candidates who truly fit your company culture.
