What is “pre-screening”?
Pre-screening is the process of having the applicant choose to be an applicant or not, based on what they see and read in the recruiting materials and/or employment advertisements.We have been doing this for 20 years by adjusting the format and language of these materials. The results have been significant in improving the percentage of qualified applicants.We know how to adjust these materials, because our proprietary test results give us the specific language and thinking processes of the groups we examine. We take that information and eliminate all the language that does not fit for the target task good performers. We also add in the language that does fit. The end result is that people who do not have the patterns of the good performers of that task, will not feel good as they look at and read the materials. So, they tend to select themselves out.For the people who match the characteristics, they will be motivated by the language and they will select themselves in as an applicant.
