Pre-Employment Testing

 

Pre-employment Testing

A pre-employment testing assessment is a validated pre-employment test that allows you to measure talent to make informed and objective hiring decisions. Combining an aptitude test and a psychometric test, this tool enables you to assess potential candidates on important traits including learning abilities, interests, and work-related personality characteristics that directly impact success on the job.

Pre-employment testing predicts job suitability by comparing candidate performance against a Benchmark created specifically to reflect a composite of the abilities, interests, and personality traits of individuals who are currently successful in the job for which you are recruiting.

We offer prevue assessments for a competitive price. Contact us to get a quote today.

The online assessment consists of 3 sub-tests:

1.  Pre-employment Aptitude Test

This sub-test component is used as an aptitude test to assess General Mental Ability, Cognitive Reasoning and learning speed. It measures a candidate’s abilities in terms of:

  • Working with Numbers (Numerical Reasoning);
  • Working with Words (Language Skills); and
  • Working with Shapes (Spatial Reasoning)

Time to complete: 18 minutes (timed)

2.  Pre-employment Interest Inventory

This sub-test component is used to assess a candidate’s level of motivation and areas of interest described in terms of their interest in:

  • Working with Data;
  • Working with People; and
  • Working with Things

Time to complete: 10-15 min on average (untimed)

3.  Prevue Personality Inventory

This component provides a psychometric assessment of the following work relevant personality constructs:

Time to complete: 20-30 minutes on average (untimed)

Selection Report

The Selection Report generated by a Prevue assessment allows you to identify potential “gaps” where a candidate may not possess characteristics associated with an ideal match for the position. This pre-employment test report provides detailed interpretive descriptions for each of the scales measured in Prevue, and a narrative overview describing the ‘total person.’ Prevue also provides sample interview questions to assist you in further investigating the areas that have been identified as potential issues.
