EMPLOYEES WHO ARE MORE RELIABLE, STAY LONGER AND ARE MORE PRODUCTIVE

Behavioural and soft skill assessments for the Care Sector

Look beyond the resume - gain insight into applicants before you decide - to hire, develop or promote. Imagine the difference to your clients and business if you could readily identify applicants better suited to the care sector and as a result reduce your staff turnover and increase performance.

"We’ve actually reduced our recruitment time frame by up to 50%, from 4 weeks down to 2 weeks, through the integration of Care Advantage and other enhancements to our recruitment program. We are also seeing improvements in reducing hiring mistakes, reducing the number of people who may drop out during their probation."

Care Advantage is an online screening platform offering 4 assessments - Personality, Attitudes, Cognitive and Engagement - that show if an applicant has the right values, attitude and is a suitable fit for the role and your business.

As a normative assessment tool, Care Advantage compares applicants against a benchmark profile for high performers in care sector roles. It highlights areas of concern and provides targeted interview questions.

Care Advantage takes away the guesswork from your recruitment, development and promotion decisions. It saves you time and empowers you to identify and retain the best staff.

We have been using Care Advantage for over five months now, early in our recruitment process, to identify/assess shortlisted applicants. We use it as a quality matching tool. We are already seeing positive results at Presbyterian Aged Care, with data that shows significant improvements in staff retention rates and tenure, combined with anecdotal feedback from managers on the improved quality of applicants and new employees.

Based on the assessment results and their stated commitment to the role, I chose nineteen candidates to participate in my 3-day pre-vocational program and at its completion the employer chose fifteen of the nineteen to enter the organisation’s normal, open merit, interview process for the ten roles. Ultimately the employer was so impressed with the calibre of the candidates at interview that they appointed eleven of my candidates!

The Care Advantage platform provides us an assessment of the industry as it is today and of what the sector is trying to be for tomorrow. One that is centred around its residents and customers, and it helps us to identify the candidates that will be suited to the sector and have the greater likelihood to succeed. The emphasis is on the candidate values and attributes such as flexibility, adaptability and cultural fit, as opposed to traditional qualifications and experience.

From the liability and expense claim evidence we have been able to identify between 2012 and 2016, there is no doubt that those businesses using Big5Assessments - Care Advantage are a better insurance risk with fewer claims than those who do not use any similar system in helping them to recruit better staff. We and our insurance partners have no hesitation in recommending them to all our clients. They should help social care businesses reduce their insurance premiums year on year.

As a central HR team, we wanted to ensure that our Line Managers are very involved in the process and they are seeing the real benefits that the Care Advantage assessment and reports provide. They are already seeing results through the quality of candidates being employed, and they’re very engaged in the process, which is great.

Interviews aren’t often effective in assessing and evaluating attitudes and values that fit with an organisation, so we found Care Advantage useful in looking for staff that had a good fit with our organisation in terms of values, attitudes and philosophies. We wanted to spend less time on recruitment and retain staff for much longer, so felt that Care Advantage could help us achieve this.
