Individual Assessments involve a combination of testing and an in-depth interview of each job applicant, regarding suitability for employment.  Relevant dimensions are identified for each job position in question and the candidate will be rated in regards to several work-related dimensions.  Results are reported via e-mail, fax, regular mail, or a combination of the above. Our reports are written in everyday language without technical jargon, or complex graphs and charts.  Human Resource professionals and key managers are the targeted audience for the report, and they are written to be easily understood by our user group.  Since recruiting managers are working under tight time-constraints, we offer same day verbal feedback to their organization regarding the suitability for employment.  A detailed written report will then follow within 24 to 48 hours.
