Candidate Screening Helps You Ensure the Integrity of Your Employees

Employee theft is more widespread than most people realize. Whether it is in the form of direct stealing or reduced productivity from absences, lateness or wasted time at work, the costs to your organizations are significant. You can reduce your risk by evaluating potential employees before you hire them with the Step One Survey II (SOS II).

This comprehensive survey will help you avoid losing money from bad behaviors including:

  • absenteeism and chronic lateness
  • unauthorized use of the Internet and email
  • theft of office supplies
  • inventory shrinkage
  • disclosing of confidential information or trade secrets
  • drug use
  • fraud
  • "job hopping"

How it Works

Using a booklet or online survey, job candidates can fill out the questionnaire from any location in less than 20 minutes. Fast results ensure no delays in hiring decisions.

The SOS II assessment gives you valuable information about a candidate’s:

  • past employment and any on-the-job troubles
  • illegal drug use
  • theft and criminal convictions
  • Internet and email abuse

In addition, the SOS II survey measures attitudes about:

  • personal integrity
  • substance abuse
  • reliability
  • work ethic

SOS II Report

The SOS II report is presented in two parts.

  • Part 1 - provides answers from direct admission questions
  • Part 2 - provides the results of inferential questions and attitude assessment

The report also includes:

  • a visual summary of the candidate’s results
  • interview questions you can use to learn more about areas of concern
