Selection Screening

Why use CDR Assessments for Selection Screening?

It is pretty simple — if you seek to screen in the best-fit, highest performing candidates, then you need to use CDR Assessments. Our tools separate the best-fits from the miss-fits.

Let’s face it — in today’s challenging business climate, hiring mistakes are costly. We help clients identify the best talent quickly and reduce the hefty toll of getting it wrong.

Our tools are designed and validated to predict performance and to pinpoint critical personality and motivational characteristics that impact one’s ability to be successful in a specific job. Without this objective assessment information, the selection process (including in-depth targeted interviews and even test problem-solving scenarios) often falls short. Without CDR Assessments, the best intentions often reap poor results.

Interviews, performance reviews, and other similar observation selection techniques give the hiring team clues as to what types of behaviors are demonstrated within a fairly controlled context. CDR Assessments provide a more authentic view of the candidate by getting past self-marketing to objectively provide relevant information on what matters most to being successful in a given job.

 CDR Assessments are:

• Designed to predict job performance
• Scientifically valid for screening/selection/staffing decision making process
• EEO safe and non-discriminatory with no adverse impact
• Comprehensive, relevant to job requirements, and more accurate than interviews and other observable data sources
• An objective selection and candidate screening tool that can help avoid wasting valuable time and efforts often spent on unnecessary interviews or other screening processes
• Based on essential job specific traits and organizational requirements, values, and culture; and
• Supported by CDR onsite experts who are available to answer clients’ questions.

Assessment Administration is EASY & FAST!

• Processing & Scoring Results – CDR provides each candidate with login and password information to take the assessments online. We quickly coordinate large groups as well. Paper and pencil is available and we accept faxed answer sheets.
• Scoring turnaround time is within 24 hours and is often completed in the same day. Processed client reports are emailed to the designated hiring manager or human resource representative.
• Generally, each assessment questionnaire takes about 15 to 20 minutes to complete each assessment or about an hour for an applicant to take the full CDR 3-D Suite.
• When, Where & Who to Test — For selection, it is recommended that the tests should be given, onsite, after pre-screening activities are completed, and before in-depth interviews are conducted. This is to assure that you are acquiring the candidate’s natural responses; not with input from or participation of others.
