All candidates hired receive feedback, including a copy of their evaluation, which is initially sent directly to the client organization. During the feedback session, candidates are given the opportunity to discuss their results of the assessment. In addition to addressing critical selection issues, assessments identify personal and professional development needs. Candidates who are hired may then implement a development program with the assistance of their manager and Human Resources. This method has been validated over a number of years and has proven record of enhancing performance and reducing turnover.
