HR Survey Software

Have you ever applied for a job and been asked to pre employment assessment? Lots of companies have pre employment assessments in place before hiring new employees. Why? Because these new employee survey assessments help hiring managers select the correct people. Hiring a new employee has its own expenses associated with it, so human resource departments often look for ways to increase employee retention rates. Pre employment assessments are one way they improve their employee retention programs.

When you hire the wrong person a few things can happen:

1. You spend extra dollars on new employee training to get them caught up to speed, when you could have hired someone with the right experience from the get-go.

2. You will face employee turnover that causes you to go back to the drawing board with advertising the position, screening applicants and interviewing - again, wasting more dollars.

Neither one of these scenarios are good for your organization. It's much easier to put a formal screening process in place. One added benefit of pre employee assessment surveys is they protect your organization from claims of discrimination in the hiring process. I certainly don't think pre employee assessments should be the only thing hiring managers look at when reviewing a job application, but I do think it should be part of the process.
