The enneagram is a personality model that orders people in nine different types, each with specific characteristics, motivations and behavior patterns. This typology allows recruiters to better understand the strengths and weaknesses of the candidates, as well as to anticipate how they will relate to their future colleagues and the work environment.
The application of the human resources enneagram not only helps identify the most appropriate profile for a position, but also facilitates the creation of balanced and complementary equipment. For example, a eneatipos diversity team can benefit from greater creativity, better conflict resolution and more effective communication.
In addition, the use of the enneagram contributes to reducing the rotation of personnel, since by selecting candidates that align with the organizational culture and the leadership style, job satisfaction and commitment to the company are increased.
However, it is important to highlight that the enneagram must be used as a complement to other selection techniques, such as interviews, technical evidence and references, to obtain a comprehensive evaluation of the candidate.
