The process of intelligently choosing staff is one of the most difficult tasks a company faces. Prevue Assessment Hiring reports are designed to help answer the following questions:

• Do you have role-specific benchmarks to define your ideal candidate?
• Have you identified the differential qualities between high performers and low performers in the position?
• Do you spend too much of your time trying to salvage bad hires?
• Do you have a method for predicting turnover in your position?
• Is there a Job Suitability Score? – A clear, data-backed score to quickly identify top candidates.
• Are there Targeted Interview Questions? – Structured questions based on key strengths and growth areas.

Can the person do the job?

Scores below the 4 Cognitive Ability Benchmarks in Prevue Assessment indicate they likely can’t do the job. Scores above the benchmarks suggest they may not be challenged enough. Both situations frequently lead to turnover.  Assessing numerical, language, and spatial skills through resumes and interviews alone can be challenging. Research shows that cognitive aptitude is one of the most reliable predictors of job performance, often outperforming resumes and unstructured interviews. By incorporating them into your hiring process, you can identify candidates with high-potential, leading to a more effective and productive workforce.  Prevue’s aptitude assessment offers an objective measure of a candidate’s cognitive abilities helping you evaluate skills essential for success in the role, including:

• How quickly can this person learn and apply new information?
• Can they solve problems, work with words and data, and manipulate objects in three dimensions?

How well will they do the job?

Scores outside the 13 Personality Benchmarks in this psychometric assessment for recruitment indicate that their personality is not a good fit for the job. The further outside the benchmarks their scores are, the less likely they are to perform well. A Job Suitability score of 85% or higher indicates a high probability of strong performance. Given a choice, we usually hire candidates with the highest Job Suitability Scores, supported by the candidate’s assessment results.

Will they do the job?

Scores outside the 3 Motivation/Interest Benchmarks in this employee assessment for hiring indicate whether candidates prefer to work with people, data, or things. Misalignment often leads to dissatisfaction or disengagement, increasing the likelihood of turnover.  Prevue’s Motivations & Interests assessments evaluate a candidate’s preferences for different types of work, such as interacting with people, working with data, or handling things. By aligning the role with their interests, you increase the likelihood of their success and long-term satisfaction in the position. Key areas to consider include:

• Does the candidate prefer to interact with people, or work alone?
• Does analyzing statistics sound like a dream or a nightmare?
• Do they like working with their hands?

Can you interview the candidate about their challenge areas?

Selection reports from this hiring assessment tool contain behavioral interview questions focused on areas where the candidate does not fit the established benchmarks. These questions combined with the assessment scores help you avoid hiring mistakes and improve selection accuracy.

Can you identify potential derailers?

Working Characteristics Reports in Prevue Assessment answer key questions such as:

• How do they prefer to be paid?
• How important is work to them?
• Do they make risky decisions?
• How do they deal with change?
• What is their perception of the world?

With deeper insights into team dynamics, leaders can also identify potential conflicts early and address them proactively, ensuring smoother collaboration and a more productive work culture. Each member brings different talents, motivations, and work styles into team dynamics.

Understanding these dynamics helps leaders create a more engaged and effective team.

Assessment Integrity

Prevue Assessments come with built-in safeguards that protect the integrity of results. We are dedicating to protecting the integrity of every assessment. Our platform includes multiple layers of protection to ensure results are fair and truly reflective of each candidate’s abilities.  Copy-and-paste functions are disabled so answers remain original, while timers keep running once the test begins, ensuring fairness and discouraging candidates from searching for answers. To further enhance security, questions appear in randomized order for every session, making each test experience unique.  Maintaining integrity requires more than surface measures. Prevue’s proprietary algorithm analyzes response patterns to identify unusual activity that may indicate cheating. Additionally, every role is evaluated against validated job benchmarks specifically tailored to each organization. This makes it difficult for candidates to predict the “right” answers and ensures results reflect a genuine fit rather than a test-taking strategy. Your security is our priority. Prevue never shares questions or answers outside the assessment, and test material only appears once a candidate begins. To keep access controlled, only verified business emails can register for accounts, ensuring assessments remain secure and used only by trusted employers.
