The good, the bad and the ugly, get to know the real person.

Career Guidance

Know someone unhappy in their job?  It could be they were never meant to do it.

You don’t have to look very far to find people who are trapped in the wrong job or profession. Bankers who should have been teachers, accountants who should have been in marketing and line managers who have all the qualities of a CEO…

Almost half of Australia’s workers say that if given the chance, they would have studied something totally different after leaving school¹.  And regrettably, someone who discovers that they are in the wrong career is probably not as productive as they could be.

Whether choosing or changing careers, there is now a way to accurately predict the right career path for an individual to deliver a far more fulfilling professional life – with the Harrision Assessments Talent Solution (HATS) system.

CareerFit can show you how to use HATS for both career guidance and self-awareness to delve deeper into an individual’s abilities and personality to reveal what types of roles are most suited to the person.

How it works

HATS leads the field in assessment theory, methodology and technology and draws on organisational theory, mathematics and science to deliver the most comprehensive employee profiling tool on the market today.

When used for career guidance, HATS provides fast, economical and highly accurate assessment of an individual’s work-related strengths and weaknesses, and the kinds of work that person should do to experience career satisfaction.  HATS is of particular use to entry-level candidates, including graduates and school-leavers, who are looking for career direction, or for employees who are looking for a change in career direction.

When used in recruitment, the candidate's details are stored as a profile which is measured against 250 job profiles or an unlimited number of custom job profiles provided by a potential employer.

HATS allows employers to test all candidates against any job which enables employers to fill immediate positions, develop or train employees for advancement, and also identify candidates or employees who may also suit another role in the company.  HATS is especially good for school leavers and university students unsure about which career is right for them.

Benefits of HATS for Career Guidance
