Testimonials
Many research studies now tell us that basing a hiring decision on applications and interviews just doesn’t work anymore. We simply don’t get enough accurate information about a candidate. We’ve all had candidates misrepresent themselves on applications and in interviews, it happens more than half the time! Making decisions based on “gut feel” is accurate about 25% of the time!
Making bad hiring decisions leads to turnover. Sometimes new hires don’t show up, they don’t meet your performance expectations, they discover they aren’t cut out for the job and quit, or leave for a variety of other reasons. Much of this turnover is preventable if we just make better decisions in the first place!
You can Google “cost of turnover” and find a wide range of estimates. One of the more conservative studies, by the Center for American Progress, says the average overall cost of turnover is about 21% of annual salary. For workers who make $30K or less it is about 16%. Still, that’s $4,830 each time an employee leaves, let alone the soft costs of disruption to your company. If you have a few employees leave each year, it becomes a big drag on your bottom line. See our blog post How $30 Can Save You $5000 and Reduce Employee Turnover to learn more.
Other measures can tell us if they have a pace of work that meets the needs of the job. Are they detail-oriented if that is required? How will they interact with customers and co-workers? Do they have a positive outlook or are they skeptical?
Depending on the job, you will want different traits. For example, for some jobs, you don’t necessarily want someone who is highly social or they may not get their work done. Pre- Employment Entry Level Assessments provide wonderful insight into the candidates’ traits.
What about honesty and integrity? If your job allows access to inventory, cash, customer’s residences, credit cards, etc., it is imperative to know how conscientious they are. The bottom line is that Entry Level Assessments provide better data.
