Applicant Assessment With Prevue - Why It's Priceless
By Doris Lowell
Peter Drucker the noted management consultant said, "Chances are good
that up to 66% of your companies hiring decisions will prove to be
mistakes in the first 12 months." And when you consider the potential
cost of a mis-hire can be as much as three-times the persons salary you
really shouldn't be gambling on gut-instincts and decisions you made in
the first five minutes of the interview.
If a typical new hire salary is $40,000 then you are risking $120,000
if you don't take steps to improve the hiring process within your
company. The simplest way to do this is to first ensure you use an
accredited and reputable recruitment and talent management company. The
second way to reduce the risk is to ensure the firm uses scientifically
proven applicant assessments.
A common myth is that applicant's can 'game' or outsmart the
assessments. A properly constructive assessment makes “faking it”
highly unlikely. To ensure validity and reliability, the
applicant's responses are calibrated throughout the process by
specially designed multi-dimensional questions developed specifically
by highly trained industrial and occupational psychologists.

Prevue is a valid, reliable, objective and integrated assessment

tools you can measure applicant's capacity to learn, and the

assesses applicant personality and behaviours.
