Hiring Solutions has been in business since October 1992. The Prevue Assessment was launched in 1994. We became one of the first dealers.

Between 45 and 60 minutes; we recommend setting aside an hour of uninterrupted time to complete the Prevue. The first portions are timed and once started cannot be paused.

The short answer is immediately upon completion. The designated administrator will receive an email prompt that the candidate has completed the assessment and can then score the assessment which takes about 2 minutes. When we act as the administrator, there may be a short lag time. If you prepay and act as your own administrator, you control when they are scored. All results are sent in .pdf format via email.

Through an online link, utilizing a specific username and password that is sent by email to the applicant, or they can log in directly from a computer located at your facilities. You control how this is done.

Online only, for the reasons mentioned above.

The standard “pay as you use and we administer” price is $149.00 each. The prepay options start at $139.00 for a purchase of ten assessments. There are additional discounts available depending on size of single purchase, not on accumulated usage. Once the candidates’ scores are in your system, any number and any type of reports can be generated at no additional cost.

To utilize and generate all of the reports available from the system, benchmarks are needed. Benchmark construction is $1250.00 per benchmark which includes the assessments used in the concurrent (4) or combination (2) study to create and validate each benchmark. A concurrent study uses only the raw scores from your top performers in a given position.

This requires a minimum of four separate individuals but can be strengthened and confirmed by adding a few more top performers or a few bottom performers for comparison. A combination Study takes the raw scores from a minimum of two top performers and allows input from managers or supervisors that are intimately familiar with the position, in the form of a Job Description Survey.

The JDS is also validated as a way to create a benchmark but is not recommended as perceptions usually don’t match reality when it comes to performance. Regardless of the method used, each study is reviewed, adjusted if necessary and approved by you and the involved managers before being finalized into an Activity for your use.

These customized benchmarks and the ease of construction, are what set the Prevue apart from most other premium assessments. As an added benefit, the benchmark report itself is an incredible tool for managers to develop their departments and staff!

We invoice via email as credits are used or ordered and transferred into your account. Payment by check, net 5 days, is our standard billing.

No.

The assessment is always the same. What changes is the Benchmark that applicant scores are tallied against; this allows you to see how that applicant compares or fits, in relationship to your best people that were used to create the given Benchmark. Your concern is how they stack up against your people, culture, environment, not some vague guideline of what a Customer Service Associate should look like for all phone companies across the country. Will there be some consistent characteristics? Without a doubt, but the successes lie in the minor differences and details that allow your people to shine in your organization. This is why every company has their own Benchmarks.

Yes

This is a great question and difficult to give a simple answer to. Research has shown using the Prevue as part of your hiring process will result in a 30 to 50 percent reduction in turnover when used consistently and appropriately; so the question comes back to you, what is your cost of turnover? The more important or real questions are how much does a company benefit by having one, two or several more employees like their top performers? If the performance bar is raised across an entire department how much does this put to the bottom line? These are all realities when you hire quality people that fit into your organization, then coach, train and develop them for the long term. This commitment starts with the hiring process.

Certainly, but I will have to wait for their approval, and then forward their information on to you.
