The pre-employment background screening process involves a general employment background check that validates information submitted by an applicant. Once the pertinent details of an applicant’s background have been examined and verified, the broad-spectrum screening focus gives way to a position specific assessment of his/her suitability for hire. Trusted Employees offers assessment testing services that help employers gauge the core competencies and predict the future performance of tentative employees.
Assessments include competency and skill testing, position assessment, personality testing and of course, pre-employment screening. Assessment tests can be differently combined to highlight the attributes and skills associated with a given position. Test results are measured against an extensive database of assessment information, and provide employers with invaluable insight into the possible connections between current test performance and future work performance.
The process of pre-employment assessment considers an applicant’s strengths and weaknesses in the context of specific position profiles. Its objective is to help hirers and recruiters put the right people in the right roles, quickly and insightfully.
Trusted Employees helps companies develop assessment testing strategies that effectively streamline their hiring process. Assessment testing puts applicant information into perspective, by measuring and organizing a range of variables:
- Personality, competency and cognitive ability
- Trainability, adaptability and competitiveness
- Versatility, creativity and intuitiveness
- Self-awareness, degree of empathy and sense of responsibility
- Team awareness, level of independence and sense of initiative
- Coping-awareness, range of stress tolerance, and sense of self-control
- Previous work performance and suitability for a new role
- Past achievements and readiness for new challenges
- Formative experiences and aptitude for new learning
The information provided by preemployment background screening and assessment testing creates a kind of applicant description that can be considered in relation to various job descriptions. The predictive value of pre-employment screening assessment helps employers build their ideal workforce, with less expense and greater assurance.
