A key principle to keep in mind when introducing assessments to your selection and promotional procedures is to implement measures that have demonstrated validity for your specific application. In other words, evidence needs to be presented that the test is job-related and correlates to on-the-job performance. Test validation is the process of establishing job-relatedness of a test.

Validated assessments provide significant cost savings through: •  Enhanced Employee Productivity •  Improved Work Force Quality •  Reduced Manpower Needs •  Reduced Compensation Costs •  Reduced Machine Down-Time •  Reduced Training Time

Other Considerations:

In addition to formal test validation services Applied Assessments assists clients with critical features to implementing a successful assessment process. These elements include:
