Employers use pre-employment assessments USA to narrow down the number of applicants they're going to interview.  Employers want to know how well an applicant matches or fits the requirements of the job. Pre-employment assessments can also help you design an effective hiring interview that focuses on areas where the candidate does not fit the job.  Used appropriately, pre-employment assessments will minimize the time needed to fill your open positions. Employers can achieve the following outcomes:  An increase in the hiring success rate, a reduction in overall turnover and an increase in new hire performance and productivity. Here are the five major categories of pre-employment assessments that we offer:

Integrity Assessments

Integrity assessments measure attitudes and experiences that are related to an individual’s honesty, trustworthiness and dependability. Many organizations are not aware of the high ROI resulting from integrity assessments being applied in businesses where counterproductive behaviors are highly disruptive to organizational functioning. If the business is highly vulnerable to theft of valuable property or theft of sensitive information or absenteeism, a high ROI can be expected. Integrity assessments are typically multiple-choice in format and administered online.   A lack of integrity is associated with counterproductive behaviors such as theft, violence, sabotage, disciplinary problems, and absenteeism. Certain applicants represent a higher risk of engaging in counterproductive behaviors based on their integrity assessment responses. By using integrity assessments early in the hiring process, employers can save time and costs and avoid workplace behaviors that can damage their organization. Below are two integrity assessments that can be administered online in twenty minutes or less:

Cognitive Ability Assessments

One of the top reasons for using a cognitive ability assessment in your hiring process is that you will make better decisions. The cost of a bad hiring decision can be as much as a third of the salary of the position. The data you obtain from the cognitive ability assessment of your candidates is very powerful. It will empower you to hire not only for the open position now, but for the talent you will need in the future. Hire people based not only on what they can do, but on their potential to learn, and you can set your company up for future success.  Hire people with high learning potential who can lead your business into the future.  Cognitive Ability predicts job performance.  It will also help you identify learning agility (i.e. quick learners).  Below are three assessments that will measure a candidate’s cognitive ability:
