WonScore Gets High Rating from me

Incentivized
Tom Crouser
President in Corporate at Crouser and Associates, Inc. (51-200 employees employees)

Pros

  • Gives us a Cognitive score. Candidates must be moderate in smarts. Nothing makes up for smarts but smarts isn't all.
  • Gives us a sense of their Motivation. Recent applicant for a graphic designer job wasn't motivate by jobs requiring "artistic expression." That raised some eyebrows.
  • And allows the candidate to describe what they like and don't like or their Personality. This is important to me as a supervisor. Allows me to consider whether I would be comfortable supervising a confrontational person, for instance.
  • The instrument has proven to be very predictive and I've used it for 5 years. For 20 years prior to that, I used the Wonderlic paper-based assessment (cognitive only).

Cons

  • Very little thoughts on improvement other than a couple of betterments to candidate entry that would make life a little easier. However, no big deal.
  • Having some ability to preset some fields would help to avoid repetitive entry.

Return on Investment

  • Gives us a much better understanding of a candidate's future performance by understanding where they are today.

Karen Gates
Director - Human Resources in Human Resources at I-CAR (201-500 employees employees)

Pros

  • Easy to administer
  • Valid, reliable results - Backed by rigorous science
  • Great "bang for the buck" - lots of good information in one place!

Cons

  • It would be helpful to have more interpretive reports; integrate some of the scales if possible - do scores on one scale have implications for scores on another? Is there any relationship between the scales? I enjoy the anchors showing people with high/low scores may demonstrate certain characteristics; additional elaboration/narrative might be helpful.
  • Better understanding of the scales and why certain scales matter on some jobs, not others. What does it mean when a score has/does not have bearing on that particular job? Why/Why not?
  • Maybe include examples of the types of positions for which the scale scores have meaning beyond the particular job in question. This might help with succession planning and development planning.

Return on Investment

  • Saved time in the hiring process
  • Helped us to know about where there might be issues on the job.
  • Provided additional information a personality assessment did not

  • WonScore Pre-Employment Testing has lowered our cost of training of turnover.
  • It takes very little, if any, training of the administrator of the WonScore to get valuable insights.
