Sift HR is the consulting practice of Dr. Justin Wiegand, delivering expert-led, data-driven assessments to help organizations hire smarter and develop their people.
Spanning work with small business clients to leaders from Google, Amazon, AOL, Verizon, Bird, Shell, and SurveyMonkey, Dr. Wiegand helps organizations of all sizes understand and implement validated assessments with ease.
We used Sift HR extensively during a hiring spree for multiple positions. The information received from the assessments was certainly worth the cost, and influenced our hiring decisions in a myriad of ways.​
Sift HR has been extremely helpful in assisting with organizational fit of team members and helping us get the most out of team members.
Dr. Wiegand has a talent for statistical software and analysis… and bringing it to a level that I could understand. If you have the opportunity to work with him, I would highly recommend it.
hiring doesn't have to be hard
The Sift HR Process
Sift HR exclusively uses Wiley’s PXT Selectâ„¢ assessments to improve hiring and employee development. PXT Selectâ„¢ leverages decades of performance data across small, mid-size, and Fortune 500 organizations to guide validated hiring and development decisions.
Your assessments will be scored against the job you are hiring for or developing talent in. PXT Select™ uses cutting-edge psychometrics and computer-adaptive items to evaluate key job-related constructs and provide easy-to-understand reports complete with comparable fit scores, targeted interview questions, and actionable narrative to guide hiring and development decisions. Implementation is easy and we guide you each step of the way.

We make predictive assessments accessible
Sift HR offers the best of both worlds—direct access to an assessment expert along with software and support that scale with you.
Through our partnership with Wiley—the creators of PXT Select™, DiSC®, and The Five Behaviors of a Cohesive Team®—we bring proven, validated assessments to organizations of all sizes, from small businesses to the Fortune 500.
Our early research with HR leaders and hiring managers uncovered common barriers to effective assessment use: startup costs, legal concerns, and implementation challenges. We’ve built our approach to directly address and remove those roadblocks for you.

when you find fit
Everyone Wins
When you find fit, hiring decisions improve—and candidates find more fulfilling work. Everyone wins. PXT Select™ exists to make that happen.
The constructs measured by PXT Select™ are grounded in what research shows matters most. In a landmark meta-analysis, Frank Schmidt and John Hunter reviewed thousands of studies across industry, time, and place. Their analysis—spanning more than 500 diverse jobs—found that cognitive ability, a cornerstone of PXT Select™, predicts an average of 26% of the variation in employee performance across roles—significantly more than traditional, unstructured interviews deliver.
PXT Select™ adds several other key predictors by assessing personality, interests, and providing targeted interview questions—all designed to work together to help you find fit and hire better.
Help your candidates and your company succeed by using PXT Selectâ„¢, backed by Sift HR’s expert support every step of the way.
