HR Assessment

Posted by: Thomas Colvin on July 22, 2009 at 3:10PM EST

Just curious if anyone has any experience with HR scoring models? About a year ago we launched HSI through Healthcaresource and use a ranking and scoring system to prescreen our applicants- in hopes of hiring better people. I was interested in seeing how many other large healthcare organizations use this tool, or one similar?

just this year our organization implemented a program called "workday". it involves asking job applicants a series of questions and rating them on major social and work related parameters. It "red flags" candidates that score significantly outside the norm. it also gives hiring managers a list of potential "drill down" questions for each category for applicants that may have scored in the borderline area. so far we have found it really helpful. interestingly, managers say there is a high correlation between applicants who score poorly and the associated manager's 'gut" instinct at the interview (ie same hesitation areas the managers note are the same areas that score poorly on job test) so it seems to have a lot of validity

At my organization we use the LH Step tool, at least for managers and above. Sometimes I think we put too much stock in the tool - if they fail it HR will not let them continue. I have qualified individuals as solid candidates but HR will screen them out.
