Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions about The Plotkin GroupWhy should I buy my assessments from The Plotkin Group?

Although employee assessments have been around for decades, the reasons for using these tools have never before been so compelling. From common theft to corporate scandals, employers now face an uncertain world of labor related risks.

Fortunately, The Plotkin Group has also been around for decades. We're a team of experienced professionals who understand how to use assessments—properly—to help you select the right employees. People who can be trusted. People who can think on their feet. People who belong on your team.

Are employee assessments legal?

Employee assessments are legal. None of the instruments used by The Plotkin Group has ever been found to be discriminatory.

Are you a test publisher?

The Plotkin Group is not a test publisher, which means that we're not restricted to selling you just one line of tests. Rather, we use the best, most proven assessment instruments offered by various publishers to create the right solution for your specific needs. Since 1968, we've learned which tools work best for a given purpose, and how to assemble a battery of tests for the most accurate results.

How much do assessments cost?

The cost of different assessments varies depending on the instrument, the format it is administered in, and the quantity. Because of this, the cost can range from the mid-$300s to under $10 each. Of course, the most important consideration is return on investment. According to one report, the average cost of employee turnover is 150 percent of an employee's salary. In other words, assessments are a good investment.

Can I develop my own tests?

If you have trained occupational psychologists on your staff, it might make sense to create your own tests. But the standardized tests used by The Plotkin Group have been validated, proven, and refined over many years. Our test instruments are a fast, accurate, cost-effective basis for employee evaluations.
