Assessments have become essential. Employers who want to put the right people into jobs they are capable of doing assess candidates for proper "job fit."

• Testing is accepted, even expected. Almost all job applicants, 92% according to one survey, readily accept testing as part of the job qualification process. Candidates get their own individualized feedback of the results, a valuable learning tool for anyone.
• You need to know the nature of the people you hire. Every time you hire without practicing due diligence, you accept liability for an employee's actions sometimes even when they are not in the workplace. CAI's Online Testing Service is specifically designed to help you see the real person, with near instant reporting, so that you can rapidly assess "job fit."
• Find employees who are dependable! Absenteeism costs employers over $800 per employee, according to a recent report in USA TODAY. This was a direct cost reported by human resource professionals and DOES NOT include the cost of hiring others, or paying overtime to perform the work of absent employees.
• Protect yourself against discrimination charges. In the absence of objective data, how can you demonstrate a hiring or promotion decision was made objectively, without discrimination?
• You need assessments for employee developmental needs. The information can also be critical in determining the strengths, as well as areas that need improvement, for existing employees. If you're promoting from within or attempting to build strong leadership in your organization, you must know the strengths and improvement needs of all individuals in their job roles. Only then can you make good choices, and implement good coaching and skills development.

Many of the Online Assessments can be completed in thirty minutes or less, with only a few taking an hour or more. For those without Internet access, tests are available through paper and pencil administration.
