Personnel and Management Selection Tools

Assessment center processes based on the Guidelines and Ethical Considerations for Assessment Center Operations are developed. These processes may include interviews, role play, written and oral and/or in-basket exercises. Multi-component assessment tests are also developed and borrow from assessment center methodology. All processes are developed based on a thorough job-analysis and other data collected from the organization. Assessor training is mandatory for all processes and the number of hours or days of training is contingent on the number of exercises, and whether or not the  process is an Assessment Center according to the Guidelines or a process that only utilizes assessment center methodology.

This interview process focuses on competencies necessary for successful performance in the target position; i.e., organization & planning, leadership, adaptability etc. and situations that the candidate would face in the job.  Each  process is developed based on critical incidents that have been handled by incumbents in the position.

All written examinations developed by L. J. CRAIG & Associates, Inc. comply with Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 U.S.C. 2000 et seq.), the Civil Rights Act of 1991, and all applicable state and local statutes, ordinances and regulations. Tests developed and administered by our firm also meet generally accepted professional standards, including the American Psychological Association's "Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing" (1985) and the Society of Industrial and Organizational Psychologists "Principals for the Validation and Use of Personnel Selection Procedures" (1987) and also meet the standards for testing required by each organization.

The security of written tests is considered a paramount concern. We make every effort to protect the integrity of our written examinations.
