When the right person is in the right job, they're happy, productive and more likely to stay put. That means lower turnover, greater productivity and higher profits for you. Assessments are designed to help you identify that right person.
How many times have you interviewed several good applicants, made a gut decision to hire one that felt best, and later discovered that person didn't fit into your company culture at all?
FACT: According to the U.S. Department of Labor, 90% of all resumes have false information, and 95% of applicants interviewed will "exaggerate" to get the job.
FACT: Recommendations are often worthless as former employers, fearing lawsuits, are reluctant to reveal anything negative.
FACT: Two of three new hires will prove to be a disappointment
FACT: Two of three employees would rather be working someplace else
FACT: Turnover costs thousands pf dollars for every departing employee
FACT: One in three business will be sued this year for an employment issue
"Gut" hiring leads to excessive turnover and lowers morale. Productivity and profits suffer. Disruptive behavior costs businesses millions of dollars in theft, absenteeism, computer abuse or lawsuits. The cost of hiring the wrong person, even a minimum wage employee, can easily exceed $8000.
Most employers depend on resumes, references and interviews to make hiring decisions. Assessments offer a better alternative. Assessments can reveal behavioral traits, thinking abilities and occupational interests. They're almost like an x-ray, helping you see what's under the surface so you can screen out bad applicants before they get their foot in your door.
Employee assessments help you hire the right person the first time. And when you match the right person to the right job, everyone wins. Using assessments to improving your employee selection reduces employee turnover, improves your employee morale and boosts your employee productivity.
