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 Applicant Assessment

Prevue  is a valid, reliable, objective and integrated assessment designed for business environments. With Prevue's integrate assessments tools you can measure applicant's capacity to learn, and the applicant's speed of learning.
