Harrison Assesments Talent Assessment System (HATS)
Senior Lecturer & Marketing Consultant, University School of Management
I completed the Harrison Assessments questionnaire myself and was so impressed that I now have all my students do it. I wanted them to understand that profiling as part of a thorough selection process gives dramatically better results. They are usually skeptical until they see the results, then they are absolutely amazed by the accuracy! No football coach would ever recruit a player on a whim. Business shouldn't either.
CEO, National Employment Agency
The Harrison Assessments is an excellent tool for managers. My managers are now more confident in their hiring decisions and can easily identify potential weak points in candidates as well as strengths. Some of my managers proceeded to hire candidates that the Harrison Assessments deemed incompatible to the position. Needless to say, the turnover rate was very high and they've consequently learned to trust the system.
Manager, Industry Training Provider
Our organization employs 25 - 30 apprentices each year. We have been using Harrison Assessments as a key element of the selection process since the beginning of 1993. During that time we have enjoyed a zero "drop out" rate and have substantially decreased selection time. I would highly recommend Harrison Assessments as a very effective selection tool.
The above are quotes from users of HATS and demonstrate both the success and flexibility of the system. HATS is a must-have for any company whether a small business recruiting the "right" person to allow it to expand to the next level or a multi-national looking to fill a staffing need. HATS provides easy to understand and accurate results. By using Chespond Careers Services, you remove the need to;
- purchase expensive software,
- lose man hours carrying out training on the system and,
- worry about having the latest updates.
By using Chespond Careers Services you effectively "rent" use of this remarkable system and so benefit from minimum outlay for maximum success.
HATS uses many years of extensive research and validation to provide the equivalent of a full days behavioural testing in a 25 minute (approximately) suitability questionnaire. A Company can save up to 80% of the work of hiring staff and the system is also a highly cost effective tool in helping achieve Total Quality Management, TQM, status (eg, ISO 9001, EFQM etc.) through its ability to quickly and accurately produce Personal Development Plans. Some of the main benefits of the system are as follows;
300+ JobSuccess Formulas
• We make it easy to create comprehensive assessments that fit your specific job success requirements. We help companies easily and accurately assess the eligibility and suitability factors that lead to job success.
20 + Years of Performance Research
• Harrison Assessments’ Solutions are based on more than 20 years of performance research that focuses on understanding the differences between high performers and low performers.
Evaluates Eligibility
• The eligibility component of each Job Success Formula evaluates how applicants compare to the ideal levels of education, experience, and skills based on our proven Job Success Formulas.
Evaluates Suitability
• The suitability component of each Job Success Formula evaluates how each applicant compares to a complete set of suitability factors including attitudes, motivations, interpersonal skills, interests, work values, and work preferences. Most systems only measure personality.
150+ Traits Evaluated
• Our solutions evaluate over 150 behavioral traits, while most assessments in the industry only evaluate 10 to 20.
SmartQuestionnaire™
• Advanced cross-referencing technologies make over 8,000 comparisons, providing the equivalent amount of information of 2,700 multiple-choice questions in less than 30 minutes.
Consistency (Lie) Detection
• Any attempt to deceive our SmartQuestionnaire™ is instantly detected by more than 150,000 cross-references of the answers. It handles the issue of deception better than any assessment questionnaire in the industry.
ParadoxTechnology™
• Our solutions effectively identify exceptional strengths and negative traits because they are based on the principle that each trait has the potential to be either productive or counter-productive, depending upon other balancing traits.
Leadership Development
• The ParadoxTechnology™ provides highly specific information about individual employees regarding their work satisfaction and individual needs. This information enables managers to easily shift their behavior to become better leaders and more-effective people developers.
Performance-Enjoyment Methodology
• We help companies predict performance, work satisfaction and retention. It also enables companies to motivate people and increase their performance by assigning the roles and responsibilities that give them the highest degree of work satisfaction.
Development Plans
• We provide individualized development plans that guide the employee to develop specific job success traits.
Pre-screening
• Harrison Assessments pre-assesses both eligibility and suitability, and consequently it eliminates up to 80% of the administration work by identifying and sorting the candidates according to their overall qualifications. This dramatically reduces the number of resume reviews and candidate interviews required to find the best candidate.
Applicant Tracking
• Applicants are automatically ranked and short-listed. Our automated applicant notification system will not only save your company considerable time, it is convenient for the applicants and will present your company professionally.
Interview Processing
• Our automatically generated Interview Worksheets guide employers through the entire interview process to further evaluate the eligibility of each short-listed candidate. Our Interview Worksheets also provide customizable behavioral interviewing questions and scoring guidelines to further evaluate suitability and produce a total score.
Meets All Legal Requirements
• Our assessments meet all the legal requirements of the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).
XML Integration
• If you use additional assessment methods, like an IQ test for example, the results can be seamlessly integrated into Harrison Assessments’ hiring process. If you already have an ATS, Harrison Assessments' solutions can exchange data easily.
