DNA/PRO™ is not a style of interviewing or an online assessment. It is the six critical things an employer should be assessing in order to make a great sales hire at any career level. DNA refers to the talent a person has that ensures sales success; PRO digs into the job-readiness of a candidate based on past work experience.
Every candidate represented by Sales Talent Agency has been assessed with DNA/PRO™ top of mind, and we encourage our clients to continue to explore these important areas throughout their candidate assessment process, no matter what interviewing tools and techniques they use.
