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.

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 Quality Commission are impressed by the testing and we sit in a stronger position both morally and legally in the event that employees are later subject to safeguarding or legal enquiries. ​

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.

​​We have had great success with the quality of employees that we have recruited since using Care Advantage. The assessment reports provide valuable insight that is referenced during the interview process and probation period of each employee.

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.
