What are Integrity Assessment Panels?
Panels are individual factors or areas of assessment. In essence, each panel represents a “dimension” that is being assessed (i.e. assertiveness, diversity, etc.).
What panels do you offer?
We offer 16 fully modular panels. They are:
Positive Indicators
1. Assertiveness
2. Influencing Others
3. Dependability
4. Attention to Detail (Gestalt)
5. Work Pace (Kinesthetic)
6. Attitude towards Customer Service
7. Energy
8. Attitude towards Supervisor
Negative Indicators (Counterproductive Behaviors)
9. Theft/Honesty
10. Drug Avoidance
11. Violence/Emotion
12. Diversity
13. Risk/Safety
14. Tenure
15. Supervisor/Customer Views
16. Values/Dependability
How does the HIRE-SAFE MultiPanel pricing compare with general market pricing of assessments?
The HIRE-SAFE MultiPanel is competitive. Most similar assessments range in price from $25 to $85. Included in the HIRE-SAFE MultiPanel price is real time Internet delivery, real time Telephone delivery and custom modularity, as well as a comprehensive Web based report.
What if I don’t have a computer with Internet access?
HIRE-SAFE MultiPanel pre-employment screening is deliverable by either the Internet or telephone. Even if an employer has Internet access, all applicants may not. All HIRE-SAFE MultiPanel assessments can be taken by either telephone or over the Internet. Reports are available in either format as well.
How long does it take to get the results of an assessment back?
Results are available as soon as an assessment is completed.
What type of employees is the HIRE-SAFE MultiPanel designed to screen?
Generally speaking, the eight negative indicators of the HIRE-SAFE MultiPanel are designed for entry level and hourly positions and supervisors. The eight positive indicators of the HIRE-SAFE MultiPanel are effective at any level of the organization, including sales and management.
Have these assessments been validated?
Each panel has been individually validated. A copy of the Validation Report is available.
How do I know which panels to select?
For Pre-Employment Screening purposes the full 16-Panel is recommended. This will give you a complete assessment of your applicant in both the Positive and Negative indicators. For existing employees, we strongly recommend ONLY the 8 Positive panels for coaching purposes.
Is the HIRE-SAFE MultiPanel a personality assessment?
No. Because of potential legal and EEOC compliance problems with personality based assessments in the pre-employment arena, HIRE-SAFE does not offer any personality based assessments and doesn’t use any personality assessment values. The HIRE-SAFE MultiPanel is an overt integrity assessment.
What is an “overt integrity assessment”?
Overt integrity assessments measure workplace beliefs, attitudes and values, and are predictive of specific behaviors in the workplace. Questions are workplace-oriented and could be asked by any hiring authority.
What are Custom Screening panels?
Custom Screening panels provide for us adding prescreening question sets (panels) into our Web/IVR delivery engine. For example, the client may request 5 additional questions to identify previous retail sales experience, willingness to work nights and weekends, etc. Each additional question set would be a Custom Screening panel
How accurate are your assessments?
Very accurate. For instance, our negative indicator panels (which measure tendencies towards drug use, violence, risk taking, theft, etc) have been validated as being predictive with 94% accuracy (+ or - 6%).
Are Web taken assessments secure?
Yes. The administrator of the test has to enter a Company ID Number and a Password along with the applicant’s assessment number in order to view the report.
Why do some reports have “Coaching Ideas” and others don’t?
“Coaching Ideas” are relative to only the Positive Indicators. The Negative indicators offer “Caution Statements” when applicable and the Positive Indicators offer “Coaching Ideas”.
What are the benefits of using the HIRE-SAFE MultiPanel as a pre-employment instrument?
The results of a 1995 validation study indicated:
Why do my reports show more panels than I selected?
There are two panels that are automatically included in the assessments (one for the positive indicators and one for the negative indicators) that offer an indication of distortion. The number of panels listed for each assessment includes these additional panels. Depending on the panels selected, one or two of the Distortion panels are automatically added. We do not charge for the Distortion panels.
Why do some of the bar graphs seem to be backwards from others?
The “InSights” panels are the negative indicators. The positive indicators are listed as “General”. General panels are scored based on the percentage of answers in a given panel. The InSights panels are evaluated based on a mean score. Applicants should score at or below the InSights mean. That is why the bar graph registers differently for each set.
Can I order HIRE-SAFE MultiPanel assessments in paper and pencil format?
We don’t market printed forms. Since we make the HIRE-SAFE MultiPanel available by both the Internet and Telephone, it is universally accessible. Because the assessments are modular, the panel question sets will vary from one assessment to another. Applicants can call the 800 number to take an assessment (either from a controlled environment or from their home) and the results will still be available over the Web. We can allow clients to create a printed form if there is a compelling business need.
What is “Norming”?
“Norming” is the process of adjusting the scales to fit with a specific industry norm. A “normed” assessment would no longer meet the validation criteria, but it would apply only to the Client or industry for which it was designed. As an example, a car dealership wanted an assessment for its sales people. Testing indicated that the standard retail assessment did not fit their need. We adjusted the scales to reflect the strengths and weaknesses they identified for car sales people. We now have an automotive sales assessment that has been normed to one dealership. Before we introduce it to the automotive industry in general, we will do a validation study. Until it is validated, it has only been “normed” for the individual dealership.
What is Profiling?
Profiling a position consists of using the validated assessment to identify the strengths and weaknesses of a company’s most successful and least successful employees. Once a given position has been Profiled, the validated assessment panels can be used to identify applicants that fit the “Success Profile” This process requires certain safeguards to prevent violation of EEOC/ADA laws and policies.
