The McQuaig System is a 3-step process for assessing job candidates and developing employees using online tools. The first step is to define the key behaviors needed for a job. The second step assesses candidates on these behaviors. The third step provides development plans to help employees strengthen behaviors. The tools are validated surveys that objectively measure behaviors important for performance, fit with company culture, and retention of high performers.
