Even when your labor pool is flooded with job seekers, it is difficult to identify just the right employees to move the organization forward. A valid testing system takes the guesswork out of building a pool of qualified, job-ready candidates. Well-designed pre-employment tests are known to be strong predictors in identifying those who will be successful on the job. Pre-employment tests: l Improve on-the-job and training performance l Decrease turnover l Identify candidates with the required “select for” skills l Pin-point “gems” in a large candidate pool l Reduce costs associated with poor selection decisions l Improve on-the-job safety behavior Aon Consulting’s new G.A.T.E. system Aon Consulting, a world leader in the design and implementation of reliable and valid pre-employment tests for over 30 years, now offers its pre-employment assessments on a new platform: Global Assessment and Talent Engine™ (G.A.T.
