Today, employers are increasingly turning to assessments, no longer can a company take an applicant at face value. For employers, assessments are a necessity.

Using Assessments Are Cost-Effective

With the cost of hiring a new employee averaging over three thousand dollars ($3,000), a bad hire can mean an estimated loss to companies of approximately $40,000 in severance pay, training, wasted human resources time, possible search firm fees, loss of productivity, and impact on employee morale. The expense of a bad hire far outweighs the cost of a background check. As with insurance, each employer must decide the level of protection they seek. Usually, the average cost of an assessment is equivalent to the cost of a new employee's first day of work or less. Genesis Assessments provides a level of information that will allow you to see predictive and objective data on how an employee will perform within a certain job description.

Why use assessments in business?

An indisputable fact is that people prefer to interact with people they like. The ability to create rapport with people is a fundamental skill in sales, management, personal relationships, and everyday life.

Studies show that proper job fit and employee assimilation within a companies culture, improves engagement and job-satisfaction resulting in increased productivity. Negative factors such as stress, tension, conflict and costly employee turnover diminish. This situation is more common than you might think, but imagine if you could predict results before they happen. Think of the long-term visibility you could gain by predicting who will become a top performer — even before they are hired.
