The Step One Survey is an employer's first step in evaluating a job candidate’s qualifications for employment. It has two parts, the first being a direct-admissions structured interview format that asks about recent work history, record of honesty, and related issues. The results of the "interview" are assessed by the company to evaluate the candidate's suitability for employment. The second part of the Step One Survey assesses the candidate’s attitudes toward Integrity, reliability and work ethic. Quick Results

In about 20 minutes, job applicants respond to questions on the Internet, on your computer or in a booklet. The printed report summarizes the candidate’s admissions of questionable behavior and the significant responses to inferential questions. Profiles’ clients report that using the Step One Survey significantly improves turnover and cuts the problems caused by absenteeism and tardiness. The Step One Survey can be administered wherever a computer is connected to the Internet or on a client's PC. Also, the Step One Survey can be administered using the pencil and booklet method. A computer does the scoring and generates the reports. "I've been receiving very important feedback from the Step One SurveyTM screening program. It has enabled me to learn insightful information prior to employment about an individual’s attitudes as they relate to honesty/integrity, substance abuse, reliability and work ethic that ordinarily wouldn't be discovered until after someone is employed – then it's too late! Also, the direct admission portion provides open-ended interview questions that make the interview more structured and effective."Judie Posner, Human Resources Manager
"Step One has proved to be a useful tool in gauging employee work ethic, integrity and propensity to substance abuse. We use the test as part of the interview process. The face-to-face interview, reference checks and Step One test all play equal roles in determining the success of a candidate. We have determined that Step One is very accurate in identifying potential problem areas."Margo Stewart, Human Resources Manager
"I wanted to take this opportunity to tell you how delighted we are with the Step One Survey. After interviewing over a dozen applicants we found the Step One Survey to be a useful inexpensive tool to help us screen applicants. The survey is beneficial for asking all the questions we should have and then suggesting follow up questions in areas that need more explanation."Ed Boerman, President
