Discover Your Ideal Professional Role with FLIGBY’s Assessment: Unlocking Career Success

From the simulated role of a manager to the actual job

How do you ensure your graduates find the best jobs in the competitive global market? FLIGBY is here to help you with it by using innovative online profiling.

FLIGBY’s newest assessment addresses the current challenges in the labor market. As employers in the US struggle to fill 10 million jobs, rates for those who have quit and not returned to the workforce have reached historic levels. Many opt for new jobs that offer something their current role lacks: a strong sense of engagement, meaningful accomplishment, high self-worth, and happiness. They seek to apply a previously unused professional strength to a role that challenges them at just the right level and feeds their sense of self-worth. FLIGBY’s Role Map assessment provides a solution to these challenges by comprehensively evaluating an individual’s professional roles, such as being a team player, organizer, influencer, analyzer, and problem solver.

The exodus of long-term talent has created a resource vacuum that has been difficult for organizations to relieve. There is the usual pressure to hire the right person, but there is a smaller pool of people from whom to choose. In that environment, assessing the qualities of a prospective employee is critical to success.

To help talents looking for the proper role and the companies that hire them, ALEAS Sims, known for its Leadership Simulations and Game-based profiling technologies, has developed the FLIGBY professional role assessment solution.

By the end of the Simulation, each user will have chosen their adventure, and ALEAS algorithms will analyze their choices. The User then receives a Personal Development Guide that describes their characteristics across five roles: Team Player, Problem Solver, Organizer, Analyzer, and Influencer. This guide is an excellent resource for people trying to discover what makes them happiest in their work.

For academic career officers who need to know if a prospective team member will be happy in an open position, the report provides insights into the student’s characteristics that will help to fit the person into the role.

Play to Your Strengths

We all want to be happy and fulfilled at work. Building organizations where employees are deeply engaged, intrinsically motivated, and perform at their best depends mainly on people being matched to the right jobs and given growth opportunities. Career development centers at top business schools and talent acquisition professionals know the importance of reaching a candidate’s most robust characteristics in their professional roles. Today’s fast-changing job market is essential for individual job satisfaction, career development, and business success.

It is when we act freely, for the sake of the action itself rather than for ulterior motives, that we learn to become more than what we were. When we choose a goal and invest ourselves in it to the limits of concentration, whatever we do will be enjoyable. And once we have tasted this joy, we will redouble our efforts to taste it again. This is the way the self grows. ― Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi

The level of involvement and the degree to which employees are positively stretched at work depends on opportunities where they can play to their strengths and, therefore, want to do their best. This leads to optimal performance, which feeds increased intrinsic motivation to succeed, contributing to organizational productivity and profit. Research in peak performance tells us that “just right” challenges presented to workers with adequate skills create engagement and increase the optimal mental state known as Flow, characterized by high levels of job satisfaction, productivity, and intrinsic motivation to seek out more Flow.

In flow a person is challenged to do her best and must constantly improve her skills. ― Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi

Accurately identifying a person’s strengths has historically been difficult. Even if an assessment provides candidates with scenarios that closely mimic workplace dilemmas, we rely only on self-reported measures. With FLIGBY, the user is presented with true-to-life and consequential decision points that more actively reveal their core characteristics. Then, sophisticated people analytics measure context-specific qualities and apply the results of predictive diagnostics to determine the user’s traits. These traits are categorized across the five roles and can help place people in the proper professional roles and plan their future learning and development.

Determining your strengths is the first step to finding out what work processes make you happy.

ALEAS Sims has applied the FLIGBY analytical engine to assess the professional role. As you progress through the simulated work environment, it gathers insights about you.

This solution identifies individual strengths, which are made visible through lifelike decision-making patterns. The unbiased nature of the skills-data observations generated during gameplay enables accurate profiling of strengths and sources of intrinsic motivation.

The ALEAS team noticed that certain skills measured in “FLIGBY” resonate with specific qualities today’s employers seek. A careful review of skills listed by career development centers at top business schools like Boston University, Harvard, and Purdue consistently points to essential qualities like teamwork, problem-solving, influencing, organizing, and analyzing.
