Applicant Screening Inventory

Finding the right people for a job or your organization can be difficult.  Many applicants have the necessary technical skills and expertise but fail to fit in with the team or company culture.  This leads to lower productivity, interpersonal issues, and higher turnover.  AAI has developed the Applicant Screening Inventory to help organizations identify the individuals who will succeed in your organization and screen out those who do not fit.  It finds the right people, looking beyond just the technical requirements of the job.

  • The AAI Advantage

The Applicant Screening Inventory is a short personality assessment specifically designed to evaluate job applicants on six personality dimensions critical to work effectiveness and performance across a wide variety of entry level roles.  A primary use is to determine whether a job applicant has the necessary drive, interpersonal skills, and commitment to succeed on the job by measuring personality characteristics around:

  • Teamwork and cooperation
  • Maintaining composure and avoiding emotional outbursts
  • Taking action and working hard
  • Being dependable and following rules

 

It is used in such setting as:

  • Large-scale Screening – cost-effective way to screen out candidates from a large application pool.
  • Pre-Employment Measurement – provides key insights into six personality dimensions related to collaboration, engagement, and dependability.  The Report gives detailed information about each of a candidate’s scores across the dimensions.
  • Selection – used to identify job applicants who exemplify key personality traits relevant to job success.
  • Identify applicants who “fit” into the role and the organization.
