Assessment Services

Overview

Filling an open position, promoting or transferring from within and developing personnel require substantial investments of time and money. Selecting the wrong person has been conservatively estimated to cost an organization three times that person's salary. This does not include the headaches, damaged team relations and stress that poor hires can cause. Our assessment services can give a substantial return on investment by improving your hit rate. We help reduce the time, cost and guesswork of the selection process.

Psychological testing involves a comprehensive and objective evaluation of an individual. Each candidate undergoes either a half or full day of testing. In certain situations this involves an interview with a staff psychologist. The result is a written summary report and an evaluation of the candidate's potential for the job.

How it Works

Our assessment services begin by analyzing the position to be filled. Then a test battery is developed to assess the knowledge, skills and abilities determined necessary to successfully perform the job. All test batteries include:

Job-related intelligence tests;
Relevant aptitude tests (e.g., Leadership, Sales, Clerical);
Personality inventories and additional tests that can be added based on the needs of the position.

The tests are administered to the candidate. After completion, they are scored, analyzed and interpreted by one of our psychologists. We then provide verbal feedback within 24 hours. A written report arrives within five working days. For convenience, the tests can be administered at our office or yours.
