Pre-employment Psychological Suitability Screenings:

Our process for psychological pre-employment evaluation of public safety candidates has roots in evaluation methods that have been carefully developed and refined by members of the team over years, and utilized extensively, effectively and legally on behalf of hundreds of public safety agencies. The strategy addresses the applicant’s suitability for the position using multiple methodologies validated specifically for use with law enforcement personnel, thereby enhancing the effectiveness and defensibility of the evaluation. The methods involved and criteria for making a recommendation include:

• Psychological personality testing
• Psychological testing for psychopathology
• Tests of basic reasoning ability
• Tests of writing ability
• Review of biodata from our Personal History Questionnaire
• Review of background information that is made available
• Semi-structured forensic interview (including detailed history and formal mental status evaluation)

The result of the evaluation is a suitability finding delivered in a detailed report designed to meet the needs of your agency and to conform to legal standards. Most agencies for whom we provide services require that the report give a clear and concise hiring recommendation-recommend or not recommend. We plan to work with your agency to deliver a recommendation that is consistent with your needs. We welcome feedback from our clients and can cater the recommendations accordingly. Our customizable Pre-Employment Services include:

• Web-Based Testing
• Pre and Post-Offer Screening
• Training Recommendations
• One-Hour Clinical Interview
• Personalized Reports
•Virtual, Convenient Psychological Screenings

Budget Friendly, Two Step Screening Process:

A pre-employment psychological screening is a necessary step toward building a strong and meaningful team, but sometimes, it is not always affordable. Our budget-friendly, two-step screening process gives pre and post-conditional offer evaluation results. Unsatisfactory ratings are a reality in the screening process, but by breaking evaluations into a two-step process, you can rank order candidates at the beginning of the hiring process to put the best suited candidates through the remainder of the hiring process first, increasing the speed and efficiency of your hiring process while decreasing costs, saving you money and getting the best candidates through the process more quickly.
