"Psych Profiles"
After citing the names of recent high
profile managers in trouble, the article goes
on to say that a major recruiting firm and
a personality-testing firm tested 1,400
managers at large U.S. companies. The
test consisted of 28 "questions on rule
compliance and interactions with others,
to gauge their level of integrity." The
result was that 1 out of 8 of those managers
tested can be termed "high risk" according
to the authors. The same test when applied
to inmates at a high-security prison resulted
in more than 6 out of 10 inmates testing
out as "high risk".
Our screening tool The Examiner (tm),
owned by our parent company and
administered nationwide exclusively by us,
has been used on over 11,400 job candidates
since 1988, and is much more comprehensive.
THE FOLLOWING ARE THE KEY
FEATURES OF OUR SCREENING
TOOL --- THE EXAMINER (tm)
1. The Examiner (tm) is available ONLINE
for your job candidate from any PC anywhere
that has internet access. It takes your
candidate 45-55 minutes to complete.
2. You request an Examiner session for a
candidate by using the same Integrity
Connection (tm) interface that you now use
for requesting background checks.
3. You can request The Examiner (tm) so
that:
(a) the Interview Guideline, the Honesty
Gauge, and the Motivational and Attitudinal
Report come directly to you so that you can
easily do the Integrity Interview yourself, or
(b) you can set it up so that we do the
Integrity Interview, and you receive our
interview report along with the other
materials in (a) above.
4. The Motivational and Attitudinal Report
looks at 20 aspects of the candidate such as
leadership, stress tolerance, compliance,
attention to detail, productivity, and others,
and tells you in plain English for each area
what the candidate's motivations and attitudes
are. You know a lot about the person before
you even begin your interview.
5. The Honesty Gauge gives you a feel for
the candidate's level of candor when he or
she was answering the questions on the PC.
You can conduct your interview knowing
how to gauge the candidate's answers.
6. The Interview Guide, which you use after
you have reviewed the Motivational and
Attitudinal Report, and the Honesty Gauge,
gives you a series of questions to ask in each
of 10 areas of increasing difficulty for the
candidate to discuss. During the interview
you are at a tremendous advantage, because
for each question, you are merely confirming
what the candidate has already answered on
the computer. However, you will be amazed
at the things that will be volunteered to you,
and the level of detail of what the candidate
says.
One of the most frequent questions that we
hear is "Where should I check this candidate ?"
The Examiner (tm) helps you with that because
the candidate will tell you things that paint a
bigger picture than your paperwork. With the
additional information, you can make better
decisions about where to conduct your
background check and what items to check.
In this new era of corporate fraud and terrorism,
it is extremely important that you get the best
possible read on the people that you hire. It is
also important to look deeper than you have
in the past. You MUST see if you can determine
what the real motivations and attitudes of your
candidates are.
