Step One Survey II

Step One Survey II®is a brief pre-hire assessment that measures an individual's basic work-related values. It is used primarily as a screening tool early in the candidate selection process. This assessment helps organizations reduce hiring risk in a quick and cost effective manner.
Many businesses are reducing their risk by using Profiles’ Step One Survey II, a scientifically designed assessment tool that evaluates job applicants for integrity, substance abuse, reliability and work ethic. In many companies, no one is hired for any job or position until after they have completed this survey.
Report Features
Report results are immediately available to hiring decision makers. The report contains the following information for consideration while making an employment decision:

• Quick Check – Providing the candidate’s employment status, availability to start, most recent salary and supervisory experience.
• Employment Profile – Concise employment history plus supporting interview questions.
• Integrity – A summary of admissions regarding theft of money, property, data and time.
• Substance Abuse – Admissions regarding the personal use and/or distribution of illegal and/or regulated substances.
• Criminal Convictions – Admissions regarding criminal convictions.
• Candidate’s Attitudes – Regarding integrity, substance abuse, reliability, and work ethic.
• Graph – A visual summary of the candidate’s results.
• Structured Interview Questions – Structured interview questions relating to certain issues that may be of concern to you regarding the information provided. Asking these questions provides additional information for making appropriate hiring decisions.
It makes sense because before you hire, you should be able to answer these questions:
• “Can this applicant be trusted?”
• “Is this applicant drug free?”
• “Is this applicant dependable?”
• “Will this applicant be a long-term, hard-working employee?”
When you add the SOSII to your hiring procedure, you have more information upon which to make better hiring decisions. With this survey you will hire more honest, dependable, hard-working and drug-free employees! Using this survey also leads to gains in productivity, improved company morale and increased profits.
Dishonesty is a Workplace Reality
The results of employee surveys reflect the reality of your applicant pool:
• 56 percent of working people admit they have lied to their supervisors
• 41 percent say they have falsified records
• 64 percent admit using the Internet for personal reasons during working hours
• 35 percent have stolen from their employers, by their own admission
• 31 percent abuse drugs or alcohol
Those who have studied the problem say about 80 percent of computer crime is committed by “insiders,” at an estimated annual cost of as much as $1 billion.
Is it any wonder an estimated 36,000 companies are “stolen out of business” every year by their employees?
