Supporting Selection with Hogan Configure

A leading IT company based in Germany runs a selection process for its leadership development programme each year. Participation is voluntary, and employees who aspire to grow into leadership roles apply. In 2025, the company partnered once again with 3 Minute Mile to assess 53 employees using the Galileo platform, leveraging Hogan Configure to ensure an objective and data-driven selection process.

Approach:

Hogan Configure is a powerful assessment tool that utilises Hogan Personality Inventory (HPI) and Hogan Development Survey (HDS) to evaluate candidates against predefined leadership competencies. The platform helps organisations identify high-potential talent by measuring traits that align with effective leadership, such as: strategic thinking, decision-making, resilience, relationship management.

Using Galileo, participants completed their assessments, and the results were mapped to the company’s chosen leadership competencies. This data-driven approach allowed for a fair and structured selection process, ensuring that candidates were evaluated based on objective psychological insights rather than subjective opinions.

Developmental Impact:

One of the key benefits of using Galileo and Hogan Configure is that every participant—whether selected for the leadership programme or not—receives a personalised development report. This report provides tailored developmental tips based on their assessment results, offering insights into their strengths and areas for growth.

By providing constructive feedback and development pathways, the company ensures that even those not selected for the programme still benefit from the process. This fosters a culture of continuous learning and professional development, reinforcing the organisation’s commitment to employee growth.

Outcome:

Through this structured selection process, the company was able to:

• Identify high-potential employees for leadership development
• Offer all participants valuable insights for professional growth
• Maintain a fair and data-driven approach to selection

By leveraging Hogan Configure via Galileo, the company continues to refine its leadership pipeline, ensuring a strong foundation for future leaders while investing in the broader professional development of its workforce.
