Are these screening tests accurate?
Yes! HARM and ACE have been proven accurate through a series of validity tests by Dr. Ronald Holden at Queen’s University and Dr. Angela Book at Brock University. For copies of the test studies please contact us.
Are these screening tests reliable?
Yes! Reliability was determined based on internal consistencies between test subjects. The expected correlation of tests that measure the same construct is known as alpha. Alpha can range from .00 to 1.00, with 1.00 being perfect reliability. Based on reliability tests, both HARM and ACE have results that are acceptable to excellent, meaning HARM and ACE have been accepted by evidence as being a reliable resource to help you in your hiring process!
How much will pre-employment screening save my organization?
Cost savings will differ for each organization based on company size, turnover rate, and position level. Considering employee turnover costs 30%-400% of an employee’s annual salary to replace them, the savings potential is immense! In fact, in one study, pre-employment screening resulted in a 50% reduction in employee terminations for theft, illegal drug use, and violence over a 5-year period, and a savings in shrinkage losses that amounted to over 2 million dollars over a 2-year period.

ACE is a 10-minute, 30 question, self-administered test.

Can people fake the Integrity Screening Test (HARM)?
Some individuals while completing questionnaires that assess their personality, temperament and demeanor tend to portray themselves positively. These individuals exaggerate or inflate their strengths and achievements and often deny or trivialize their deficiencies and failures in an attempt to portray themselves as similar to the norms and standards of their society and community. This is called a social desirability bias and in 1960 Marlowe and Crowne developed a seminal scale to identify the extent to which individuals exhibit this bias. This scale has been incorporated into the HARM computerized assessment to identify attempts to deceive by the test subject.
Is there a cost to administer the pre-employment screening tests?
No! Whether you have purchased a monthly subscription or a test bundle there is no fee to administer the test. The test is self-administered by the candidate from the comfort of their own computer.
Are screening tests means to replace interviews?
No! Pre-employment screening is a tool used during the hiring and interview process to help you make better informed hiring decisions by flagging counterproductive workplace behaviors and/or personality traits that are compatible with the job demands.
