Selection Assessment

Unparalleled Candidate Insight

Hire smarter with the power of empirically validated assessments.

Reports provide a concise summary and detailed candidate analysis

A one-page executive summary provides a clear selection recommendation and high-level description of the candidate’s role-specific strengths and potential challenges. Subsequent pages present a competency-based narrative of the participant’s strengths, developmental opportunities, and recommendations for continued growth.

Data-based follow-up interview questions & suggestions for continued development

Reports include follow-up interview questions to explore potential challenges uncovered in the candidate’s data, providing hiring managers and HR professionals with a valuable resource for further evaluating role finalists. Suggestions for continued development provide insightful strategies for maximizing the new hire’s success throughout the onboarding process and first year of employment.

Validity coefficient greater than .65

OAP’s most popular selection assessment is backed by research – and a validity coefficient greater than .65. (According to the U.S. Department of Labor, a coefficient higher than .35 is required for a test to be “very beneficial” in predicting success.)

The OAP Domain Model™

Dozens of data points are analyzed within the framework of our concise yet comprehensive model: six common competencies that provide unparalleled insight into your potential next hire.

Assess managerial and leadership potential

OAP’s proprietary Management and Leadership Index provides a quantitative rating of the participant’s capacity for successfully leading and managing others. This service can be added to many selection assessments.
