How do you identify the best candidates when you have applicants applying for entry-level or semi-specialized positions and limited resources? Our Remote Profile Interpretation service can provide you with an inexpensive but psychometrically sound snapshot of candidates' strengths and weaknesses. This can be useful in matching candidates' work-related behavioural characteristics to identifiable job requirements.

There are two components associated with Remote Profile Interpretation:

Testing

Client organizations, having been trained by Ellis Associates, administer one or more job-relevant personality instruments in the client's own office. Completed answer sheets, along with a job description, are forwarded to Ellis Associates for scoring.

Report

Upon receipt of the scores and the job description, an Ellis Associates consultant prepares a two to three page report that is faxed or emailed to the client. The report identifies:

• probable strengths & possible weaknesses
• areas of potential difficulty in job performance
• questions that can be used in a follow-up interview
• issues requiring clarification or that need to be verified through reference checks
• suggestions on how best to manage the candidate following a decision to hire

The report is returned to the client generally within two working days of receipt of the original tests.
