The McQuaig Word Survey® for assessing candidates. This fifteen-to-twenty minute employment test helps you evaluate the behaviors a candidate will bring to the job. It also provides you with questions for measuring how these behaviors have impacted past job performance.
What is The Word Survey?
The Word Survey is an on-line pre employment test that measures an individual's underlying temperament and behavior patterns - as well as his/her morale and adjustment on the job.
How is it used?
Use The Word Survey to:
- Learn as much as you can about an individuals work habits before you make a job offer.
- Understand the temperament and behavior patterns that candidates will bring to the job: for instance, their level of urgency, people focus, sales orientation or independence.
- Get a list of focused interview questions based on the candidate's own profile.
What are the benefits?
- No more guesswork: Understanding a candidate's temperament greatly improves your ability to predict on-the-job performance. You reduce reliance on "gut feeling" when making hiring decisions. It has been demonstrated that personality tests, if used correctly, can greatly improve the hiring process.
- Improve your interview process: Hiring managers can use customized behavioral interview questions and probes to increase objectivity and consistency in the interview process. By focusing on behavioral factors that are relevant to success, managers use their time more effectively and make more-informed decisions.
Who completes The Word Survey?
The candidate for a position fills it out on-line (or on paper). Usually, this takes no more than twenty minutes.
