Studies show that 90 percent of all hiring decisions are based on job interviews, but that job interviews are only 14 percent accurate and hiring decision are made in the first 4 minutes of the interviews. The fact is, many employees are hired based solely on first impressions, often with lasting regrets. That's because an interview shows you only one side of a job applicant, rather like an iceberg where you only see the 10 percent that is above the surface. By providing objective, consistent, valid measures of aptitude and attitude, The Plotkin Group helps you see the "total person." Likewise, it can help you "clone" your most successful people by measuring their best qualities and identifying job candidates with similar traits. Or you can use it to help you round out your team.

On average, U.S. companies spend nearly 70 percent of their total operating costs on labor-related expenses. Yet many businesses spend more time choosing a new copy machine than they devote to selecting their next employee. Based on a glowing resume or a friendly interview, far too many candidates are placed into jobs for which they are ill-suited or unqualified, with unsatisfactory results for everyone involved.

Building a Better Workforce

What are the results of using employment assessments, pre-employment assessments, and employment pre-screening tools? For starters, they can reduce turnover, theft and "problem employees" by helping you identify the right person for the job, and for your company culture. And the costs of hiring the wrong person can be staggering, leading to lower productivity, lost sales, poor service, security threats and exposure to litigation. With turnover costs at almost 150 percent of an employee's annual salary, the bottom-line benefits can add up quickly. Absenteeism, drug use, fraud and negligent hiring lawsuits are a few more reasons for using honesty and integrity testing (The Stanton Survey) to help screen out high-risk candidates. Whatever kind of people you seek—sharp salespeople (Sales Success Profile), reliable workers, solid managers, team players—The Plotkin Group can help you make smarter hiring decisions. By helping you pre-screen applicants we work with you at every step to build a stronger, more productive workforce.

Designing a good employment assessment or pre-employment screening program isn't as simple as buying a test and comparing the scores. It's important to first determine the key criteria for job success, then apply the right instruments, in the right manner, with the proper analysis. At The Plotkin Group, we're well versed in the tools of psychometrics and exactly how they should be used. We design customized screening and assessment programs that zero in on the best candidates quickly and accurately.

Smarter, more efficient employment screening. Legal, consistent hiring practices. Lower turnover. Less theft. Higher productivity. Better job performance. These are the results!
