Assessments

 
Assessment is the essential foundation for talent acquisition and talent management. While proper training, coaching and development are necessary to improve performance, no amount can optimize performance when a person isn’t right for the job, regardless of experience and tangible qualifications.

Recruitment, Hiring and Promotion


Why is it so difficult to fill jobs?


Interviewing Limitations
  • Behavior is unquantifiable

  • Deception is often undetectable

  • Interviewee’s bias is uncontrollable

  • Good interviews don't guarantee good performance


    • Traditional Personality Assessments Limitations
  • Deception is missed

  • Insufficient number of dimensions

  • Not job-specific

    • The Harrison Assessment System provides tools that allow you to match individual traits, preferences and competencies to your position requirements. Additionally, your companies values and culture can be incorporated into these tools. The result is the ability to leverage your employees' strengths to impact job performance and satisfaction, with better than 80% accuracy.

    All of this is possible with a proven set of tools that assures applicants and employees are matched to the position. You can see how individuals stack-up against traits that are essential for success as well as traits that are desireable. You will also see if traits that are undesireable for the position are present. Candidates for a given position can be easily ranked.

    An interview guide is prepared that addresses questions raised by the assessment. A report is also available for managing and developing an individual, complete with exercises to address specific areas of development.

    Recruitment Automation


    Firms that deal with large numbers of applicants can automate the recruitment process by assessing the applicants with an on line application/assessment questionnaire. You can save up to 80% of the work in hiring, while at the same time obtain a much more accurate assessment of how well each applicant meets specific, quantified job criteria. The hiring process is brought to an entirely new level by creating a job success formula that scores different levels of experience, education, skills, work attitudes, behaviors, and work preferences. The system takes into account your designated weighting for each hiring factor and calculates each applicant's score for each factor. The results are available on line within 15 seconds.

    The Harrison Next Generation Talent Solution pre-screens applicants for:


    • Eligibility (education, experience, skills)

    • Suitability (motivation, attitudes, interpersonal skills, work preferences)

    This allows companies to screen applicants and streamline the interview process. The result is hiring the best employees in 80% less time and cost.

    Cross-Referencing Technology


    HA's comprehensive cross-referencing technology provides 8,103 comparisons which are generated during the 30-minute profile. These comparisons are equivalent to asking 2,701 multiple choice questions. The cross-referencing further predicts deception by identifying contradictory rankings.

    Job Analysis


    The HA Position Analysis Wizard transforms a position's requirements into weighted traits. HA combines its proven trait requirements for various position types with specific profiler information. These templates can result in more than 80% accuracy for prediction of success.

    Comprehensive Suitability Assessment


    Most personality tests measure 10 to 20 traits. They are descriptive in nature and tend to typecast. HA measures 130 traits. These are job-specific and designed to predict job success. Yet the test takes only about 30 minutes to complete online.

    Deception and Prevention


    Built in "lie-detection" forces ranking vs. rating; ranking is based on actual priorities; the paradox methodology uncovers counter-productive tendencies and is "blind" to the profilee. All this results in lie detection which is 99% accurate, compared to the traditional 10%.
