iWAM in Recruitment

JobEQ is the company behind the iWAM (Inventory for Work Attitudes and Motivators) Emotional Intelligence test. iWAM is a questionnaire which allows to identify a persons attention filters and cognitive styles, also called metaprograms.

The iWAM measures a person’s 48 cognitive patterns (Meta-programs). Using this, one can predict what motivates a person, what is their work attitude and how they will want to communicate and to act during their work context. iWAM allows the individual preferences  to be taken into account and to value each person for their strengths. iWAM will allow an organization to make better use of the human potential of its workforce.

JobEQ has identified 6 major problems with how recruiting works today. These present serious risks both to the candidate and to the company. In the UK, for example, about 10% of hired candidates don’t even make it to the end of the first month on their new job!
