Abstract
Pre-employment questionnaires can help to screen candidates for personality
traits which will be desirable for an open position. Instead of relying on phone
references, whose names are provided by the candidates themselves, a hiring manager
can look at the results of the tests and find the best new hire based on their work ethic,
ambition, and how they would fit into the current culture of the workplace. Having the
right person in the right job will lead to increased longevity and lower turnover. By being
able to keep a person in a position is essential to cutting costs of rehiring and retraining
staff, as well as possible unemployment claims. An employee with increased longevity
may also learn to be more efficient in their position, and more engaged employee is a
more productive and innovative employee. If the right tool is used correctly, Indiana
University Health Arnett could find a major benefit from hiri ng with the aid of a proper
and effective pre-employment personality test built into its hiring strategy.
