Behavioral testing provides for a more predictable outcome when used for screening applicants for employment. Many
times the behaviors outlined in the employment testing report can be confirmed through background screening
reports or subsequent reference checks. Structured interviews and/or behavioral interviewing is a very subjective process. By
using validated employment testing and assessment tools, a company adds a much needed element of
objectivity, especially regarding management evaluations.
Job fit is very important and many companies use behavioral interview questions to try to match the candidate with the job. You want to know that a management candidate has good communication and interpersonal skills, but you also want to know about their overall leadership skills and management potential. What about the candidate's customer service skills, sales skills or their emotional intelligence? Doesn't the interviewer have enough to focus on without going into so much detail in the short time allocated to complete the interview? Well, that is the whole point behind the use of pre employment assessments. You can more effectively manage your interview time because you have the majority of the details already laid out in front of you before you go into the interview process.
The Achiever pre employment assessment report will provide you with a good cognitive assessment (information regarding six mental aptitudes) as well as communications skills (plus nine other behavioral traits), management skills, leadership skills and even the sales skills of the candidate. The report will even provide personal development suggestions as well as other training and development recommendations.
