Assessment Testing

Hiring mistakes can be costly. Even the best candidates with the right set of skills can be a bad fit with your business culture. Tests like the Drake P3 from Management Surveys Limited (MSL) can help improve the accuracy of your hiring decisions. Using different assessment tests, we can analyze profiles, skill sets, and candidate experience and culture compatibility.

• Custom Profile of the Job - In an absolutely perfect world, there is a perfect employee for the position you have available. Drake P3 describes the behavior characteristics of this ideal in a Success Profile. Not just a profile for a job given occupation, but for the job at your company. We provide you with online access to a simple survey form consisting of questions about the position. Following a data analysis, a custom job profile is generated that defines the traits of the ideal candidate.
• Charted Assessment of the Candidate - After candidates complete the profile form, data analysis determines their profile, providing detailed insight into the candidate's personality traits. Every person's performance style consists of a combination of four traits-dominance, extroversion, patience and conformity. Drake P3 allows you to understand how these traits may affect the candidate's on-the-job performance.
• Compatibility Assessment - Drake P3 then compares the candidate's profile with the success Profile to show how closely each candidate matches the ideal. A quick, accurate compatibility assessment is obtained for each candidate, adding further insight to what you already know about the candidate.
• Optimal Interviewing - To increase the accuracy of the results, Drake P3 provides you with Behavior-based interview questions to ask during the interview process. Based on the premise that past behavior is the best predictor of future performance, these questions focus on a candidate's specific, work-related job experiences, offering an accurate indication of the candidate's future behavior and likelihood of success.
• A Profile In Productivity - Once new hires are on board, Drake P3 helps them hit the ground running with positive prescriptive feedback on their interaction with coworkers. You can even have profiles made of entire employee teams, match them with one another, and gain insights that will improve communication and productivity.
