Assessments:

select!

Synergizing your team and energizing your workforce start with selecting the right candidates.

With the traditional interview about as effective as flipping a coin you need a more dependable process to get the information you need. Our hiring assessments make selecting the right candidate not only easier, but also more reliable. Our validated tools provide you with objective information that can help you make the best decision for your company, your position and your team. And the behavioral interview questions included with our selection assessments make interviewing even easier.

There are two types of assessments used for selecting the right candidate.

Screening assessments

help you screen out candidates for hourly positions that are most likely to engage in counterproductive behaviors or cause problems on the job.

Screening Assessments

SELECTSELECT is a pre-employment screening tool for hourly positions that identifies work-related behaviors such as Positive Service Attitude, Accountability, Frustration Tolerance, Acceptance of Diversity, Multi-tasking and more, plus a Validity Check and Integrity Index. SELECT math and reading tests can be added to any of the SELECT reports.

Each customized report includes a step by step interview guide with recommended interview questions based on the candidate’s responses.

SELECT allows employers to quickly and easily screen for characteristics associated with productivity, cooperative work behaviors, integrity and service to others. SELECT is available in 18 different position types plus a Banking Suite.

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.

Criteria one BVM
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.

Criteria one BVM
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.
