BUSINESS assessments

The key to successful employee recruiting and hiring is benchmarking your jobs, not your people. Your Job Benchmarking assessments will show you the ideal attitude and behavior required for superior performance in any job.

The Job Benchmarking process begins with determining the Key Accountabilities each person in the job must commit to doing on a daily or regular basis for the job to exist. Then you complete two online Job Benchmarking assessments. When you've completed the Job Benchmarking process, you'll assess each job applicant and match them to the Job Benchmarking assessments. Hire only those who closely match the job profiles.

Job Benchmarking Assessments

TTI Fit Job™ − This assessment measures the behaviors, values, and task quotient required by the job for superior performance.

EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY COMMISSION

Validation for purposes of the EEOC law is the technical process whereby the employer defends the use of a selection device, or a standard demonstrates a very close relationship between performance against the standard and performance on the job.

A company may not use any selection device or standard that has an adverse impact on the protected group. The protected group is usually a minority person, a female, or a person over the age of forty. But it can be anyone.

The Behavioral and the Values Instruments [used by The Estes Group] are developed by Target Training International, Ltd. The instruments and assessments have never been challenged by the EEOC. The Behavioral Instrument was first used in 1959.

EEOC legislation was aimed at employers who administered tests that were not job related or who discriminated against a protected group. For example, giving a math test to keep someone from being hired as a police officer was deemed not job related and therefore, illegal.

The Behavioral and Values instruments are job related. It is relatively easy to determine if they are job related. Simply test your top performers with the bottom performers in a particular job. There will be a difference in 99% of all jobs for which performance criteria has been developed.

The use of TTI’s assessments will remove human bias and truly provide the documentation required to prove a bona fide business necessity. The use of proper instruments will reduce or eliminate the risk of EEOC complaints.
