Minimising the risk of a poor hiring decision
When your organisation is committed to ensuring the safety of individual staff, team members, clients and the community, you need to be confident that you are hiring the right person for the job.
To do so, we offer tailored tools for candidate assessment, providing organisations with objective data and clear insights on individual job candidates and their potential for risk to themselves, their colleagues, clients and organisation.
Our Assessments
Applicant Suitability Matrix (ASM)
This assessment is specifically designed for environments where employees work with vulnerable people or have a responsibility for the safety and wellbeing of others. These are roles where you really have to be careful about selecting candidates who will be reliable and safe.
The ASM assesses a candidate’s suitability across factors including:
- Working with others
- Working style
- Emotional control
Combined with targeted interview questions, we combine the assessment of a candidate’s potential and performance to enable you to build confidence that you’re making the right recruitment decisions.
Risk Prediction Index (RPI)
This is one of our flagship risk psychometric assessment tools and was specifically designed for the most high-risk work environments in our community.
This assessment is ideal for environments where there is psychological potential for violence or danger to the employee, the public or others. The RPI measures an individual’s level of psychological risk across:
- Cognitive ability
- Emotional intelligence
- Working with others
- Working style
- Self-control
- Psychological adjustment
This tool had unmatched reliability and validity data gained over decades of working with Australia’s largest policing and emergency services organisations as well as other high-risk employment environments.
Being this targeted and thorough will provide peace of mind that we can help you with even the most difficult recruitment decisions.
Mental Health and Wellbeing Assessments
We offers a psychometrically sound, reliable and valid tool to support employee mental health and wellbeing assessment.
Evaluating areas such as attitudes to discipline, socio-support systems, teamwork orientation, ambition and lifestyle, the assessment explores the candidate’s personality and behaviour, and highlights areas of potential risk. This assessment forms the basis of wellbeing recommendations and initiatives designed to improve the mental health of your employees.
Workplace Violence Risk Assessment
We take seriously a zero tolerance policy for workplace violence. When an employee is violent in the workplace (verbally, physically, psychologically), we assess the individual’s cognitive ability, personality, psychological vulnerabilities and behavioural tendencies to provide an indication of their level of psychological risk and potential for future violence.
These results are used together with a structured interview, and information provided by the referring manager, to indicate the potential future risk of the employee acting violently. Armed with this assessment, you’ll be able to make clearer decisions about what actions may be required and how to reduce long term risk for your organisation.
