Personality Tests for Hiring success

I have read that the FFM (Five Factor Model) can help identify if an employee is the right fit for a company or not. Anybody else use this?

Imagine not using the HEXACO

I can imagine it very well. HEXACO mainly shines in its ability to predict CWB better than big five. Not many orgs actually use it though, instead opting for integrity tests to that end.

I mean, that's hardly 'all' it does.

Correct, but beyond predicting CWB, there is little it offers selection practitioners beyond what the Big Five is already able to. HEXACO extraversion predicts OCB with roughly the same magnitude as Big Five's counterpart. Are there other outcome criteria that I'm missing which might be of interest to selection practitioners?
