Selection Assessments

Selection assessments enable you to choose the candidate that is the best fit for the company, the position, and the team. That starts with understanding what the job entails so that you know exactly what you're looking for (see "How it works"). Once you've defined the job needs you can figure out exactly what you need in a top performer. Using the most up-to-date online, pre-employment personality, behavior and cognitive tests enables you to see the strengths and challenges each candidate brings to the position.

Our selection assessments go right to your bottom line by saving your time interviewing only the most qualified candidates and reducing your turnover by improving your hiring reliability.

Prevue® is a proven selection assessment used for hiring, promoting, personal development and team building.

The Prevue system provides an objective comparison of the candidate against a customized top performer profile based on what's needed for your position in your company and on your team.

DISC reveals the individual's natural behavior and communication style and what kind of behavior adjustments s/he makes in the work environment. It evaluates how individuals deal with the "Four P's" of behavior:

• Dealing with Problems (D: Direct)
• Interacting with People (I: Interactive)
• Following a work Pace (S: Steady)
• Adhering to Procedures (C: Compliant)

The key to successful talent management and personal growth is knowledge of each person's unique behaviors. Understanding behavior styles can enable you to maximize strengths and minimize the impact of weaknesses, thereby energizing your workforce to achieve organizational goals.

DISC is an excellent tool to improve morale, overcome team dysfunctions, increase productivity, and identify personal development plans.

Personal Interests, Attitudes and Values ("PIAV") helps you understand what motivates your candidates and what their values are. This helps you recognize which candidates will feel fulfilled in the job role (and therefore remain motivated and engaged) and fit in with your culture.

Research has shown that we are all primarily motivated by one or two of six values. These values, or life passions, provide a lens through which we see the world and through which we determine personal success and fulfillment. The six passions, identified on the Personal Interests, Attitudes and Values ("PIAV") report, are:

• A search for knowledge.
• A passion for balance and harmony, creativity and nature.
• A desire for a high return on investment of time, energy, money and other resources.
• A quest for position status, influence and prestige.
• A passion to make a difference in the lives of others.
• A desire to follow a defined system for living.

The information obtained from the PIAV enables you to better understand your own reactions, make career choices that will fulfill your personal passions, understand underlying conflicts with others and become aware of how others view the world.

The PIAV can help you energize your workforce by identifying candidates that are passionate about your mission and vision and by revealing potential barriers among current team members.
