Pre-employment assessments for high performers
DDI offers a full spectrum of pre-employment tests and simulation-based assessments. Our pre-employment assessemnts allow you to quickly, cost-effectively, and accurately evaluate candidates.
Pre-employment tests:
Our tests give you a clear picture of who is most likely to succeed across a wide range of critical job factors, levels, and positions. Plus, our comprehensive candidate and management reports and analytics help you turn test scores into data you can use to make the right employment and promotion decisions, guide development, and identify critical talent gaps. DDI’s pre-employment tests cover four categories:
Career Batteries—are designed to screen candidates in three core areas: judgment and decision making proficiency, workplace personality/disposition, and background experience. Our career batteries are role specific, targeting the personal attributes required for success in entry-level jobs involving manufacturing/logistics, sales, service, professional, and leadership responsibilities. Career batteries are particularly quick to administer, making them ideal for high-volume screening.
DDI’s Insight Inventories—take testing to another level by not only measuring judgment and experience, but probing deeper into attributes that predict workplace performance in more demanding jobs. The insight inventories are designed for jobs that require complex interactions with people and a desire to understand a candidate’s personality in more detail. Insight inventories can be used for candidate screening and can be paired with behavioral information to guide development. DDI’s insight inventories are available for leadership, sales, and professional roles.
Adaptive Reasoning Test® (ART)—Developed in partnership with Procter & Gamble, the ART uses culturally-neutral items to gauge learning and reasoning capability. Designed for proctored or un-proctored administration, the new adaptive testing technology behind the ART enables an efficient candidate experience, precise ability measurement, and the highest level of test security. The ART is particularly useful for any job requiring the ability to quickly learn new information and manage high job complexity.
Skill and Knowledge Tests—Our highly accurate tests are the perfect solution for verifying candidate competence in critical skill and knowledge areas. With our partners, First Advantage® and Ramsay Corporation, we offer over 800 tests covering a wide range of skills and knowledge areas related to fields such as IT, accounting and finance, and clerical positions.
Simulation-based Assessment:
The Next Best Thing to Being There
Want to see if a candidate can sell? Watch him in a sales call.
Want to see if a new leader can develop talent? Watch her in a coaching discussion.
Want to see if applicants for a manufacturing job have high attention to detail? Observe those applicants as they complete an assembly process.
DDI’s simulations make it all possible, allowing you to see firsthand how a candidate would perform if placed in a new role. In addition, our simulations give candidates a realistic preview of critical job requirements so they come into the role with accurate job expectations. When the cost of failure is high or when the position is critical to the success of the business, job simulations add a significantly higher degree of selection accuracy and risk mitigation.
We offer a full range of individual simulations or fully integrated “day in the life” assessment centers covering jobs from manufacturing team member to frontline manager to CEO and everything in between. We make simulation administration easy and efficient. Depending on the job or role, our simulations can be delivered through our virtual web-enabled platforms, over the phone, and/or in person.
Manager Ready®—is a highly predictive, frontline leader assessment that delivers the same quality of insight as an in-depth assessment center at one-fourth the cost. It delivers comprehensive reports and actionable development guides that cover the most critical frontline leadership competencies.
Leadership Mirror®—DDI also offers competency-based, 360° multirater instruments to help you identify people's specific strengths and development opportunities. This provides them with a deeper understanding of their current performance as well as the tools and actions needed to enhance their performance. Then you can be certain that your workforce is composed of high performers who can help your organization reach its business objectives.
