Performance-based Hiring-vs-Skills/Predictive TestingHow to improve hiring and retention
Regulatory Considerationshttp://www.dol.gov/compliance/topics/hiring-testing.htmSeveral federal laws determine the conditions under which an employer may require a job applicant or newly hired employee to undergo certain tests before making a decision on whether or not to hire the applicant or before scheduling the new hire for work. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has primary responsibility for the enforcement of laws prohibiting adverse impact resulting from pre-employment testing or selection procedures. Pre-employment tests or other selection procedures having an adverse impact on employment of individuals based on the individuals race, sex or national origin are generally considered to be employment discrimination unless they are job related for the positions in question and consistent with business necessity.
http://apps.opm.gov/ADT/Content.aspx?page=3-07&AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport=1&JScript=1Job knowledge tests are used in situations where applicants must already possess a body of learned information prior to being hired. They are particularly useful for jobs requiring specialized or technical knowledge that can only be acquired over an extended period of time. Examples of job knowledge tests include tests of basic accounting principles, computer programming, financial management, and knowledge of contract law. Job knowledge tests are often constructed on the basis of an analysis of the tasks that make up the job. While the most typical format for a job knowledge test is a multiple choice question format, other formats include written essays and fill-in-the-blank questions.
http://www.eeoc.gov/policy/docs/factemployment_procedures.htmlEmployer Best Practices for Testing and SelectionEmployers should administer tests and other selection procedures without regard to race, color, national origin, sex, religion, age (40 or older), or disability.Employers should ensure that employment tests and other selection procedures are properly validated for the positions and purposes for which they are used. The test or selection procedure must be job-related and its results appropriate for the employer’s purpose. While a test vendor’s documentation supporting the validity of a test may be helpful, the employer is still responsible for ensuring that its tests are valid under UGESP.
Regulatory ConsiderationsSummary:Whatever Test, or Assessment, or Solution we adopt, we need to consider our Federal Government Contractor status and our EEOC documentation requirements.
Skills / Personality TestsAchievement Tec / Guardian = personalitytesting.comhttp://www.personalitytesting.com/FAQ.htmHow would you describe your hiring process?Stone Age or Computer Age
eTapestry utilized the “Guardian” Test from Achievement Tec.There are “Achievement”, “Performer”, and “Guardian” Tests to be selected based on skills / position. i.e., “Sales Achiever” for Sales; “Executive Achiever” for Management or Exec; “Guardian” for skilled hourly employees, etc. There are sample tests online for each categoryCosts are: $1100.00 for 200 “Credits” ($5.50/each)Each Test costs a certain # of credits:*NOTE: These prices are for a Company that has been using the system for awhile, and is setup for “Self-Service”. The recommendation is for “Full-Service” to start, which costs almost 50% more per test. (Guardian $95; Sales Achiever $165)
Achievement Tec CredibilityOur assessments have been reviewed by the Office of Federal Contract Compliance which has stated that there is no need to validate each assessment within each company since there are no pass or fail scores and there is only a slight possibility of adverse effect on a protected group.Achievement Tec maintains construct validity of its assessments, as well as conducting continuous ongoing concurrent validation studies for clients establishing "benchmarks" for their respective jobs. The assessments are comprehensive, and are recommended by Jay. The only question or consideration would be the Cost, if we choose to incorporate pre-employment testing in our hiring process.

Performance-based Hiringhttp://adlerconcepts.com/index.php/aboutus/performance-based-hiring What is Performance-based Hiring?Performance-based Hiring is an end-to-end, four-step process for hiring top talent. It is the only validated methodology that integrates sourcing, screening, interviewing, and recruiting into a seamless approach based on how top people look for, compare, and accept one position over another.Top people are looking for growth, challenge, and learning opportunities, not another job. Since most are fully-employed, they are unwilling to fill in long applications or wade through job board postings to find something better than they already have. While they will explore new opportunities, their process for doing this is far different than the typical candidate.  It’s more measured, based on an open exchange of information and an evaluation of their long-term and short-term situations in balance.In order to attract and hire top talent, a company’s sourcing, interviewing, and recruiting processes must be modified to meet their unique needs. This is what Performance-based Hiring is about. Even more important, this is accomplished without compromising assessment accuracy or paying unnecessary salary premiums.
