The Step One Survey Overview
The Step One Survey enables you to objectively obtain better information about candidates and conduct highly effective interviews. Used in the pre-employment (or screening) stages of hiring, it is a scientifically designed assessment tool that evaluates job applicant attitudes in three critical areas:
Integrity - is the applicant trustworthy?
Reliability - is the applicant dependable?
Work Ethics - will the applicant be a long-term, hard-working employee?
The Step One Survey adds a valuable, reliable dimension to your hiring process, providing information which far surpasses that provided through only resumes, interviews and references.
The Step One Survey will enable your company to:
- maximize hiring resources
- reduce theft & fraud
- reduce tardiness & absenteeism
- improve morale
- improve productivity
- increase profits
All because you are able to quickly and effectively identify honest, dependable and hardworking candidates.
A recent survey of employed people revealed that 56% admitted to lying to their supervisors, 41% admitted to falsifying records and 35% admitted to stealing from employers. This is your applicant pool!
When you add the Step One Survey to your hiring procedure, you have much more information with which to make better hiring decisions. The survey asks essential questions that should be asked, but are often overlooked. For those candidates who move forward in the hiring process, the reports provide invaluable feedback with proposed interview questions.
What our customers are saying:
"... we have reduced turnover, especially in our teller positions; reduced the time in the screening process by 45%; and have also reduced the time to hire by 30%. Considering the low cost, low administration time, and the small amount of time it takes the candidates to complete the SOS, the value and the return on our investment is priceless."
