All about benchmarks

Science & Security

The Care Advantage Personality Assessment provides two pieces of overarching information:

  1. the participant’s personality profile
  2. how that profile compares against a benchmark profile of low, average and high performers in the same type of role – the benchmark

There are around 100 job fit benchmarks in the platform. They have been created by a team of occupational psychologists by:

  • reviewing the relevant job description
  • speaking with managers of and incumbents in the job
  • comparing the personality profile of low, average and high performers in the job

We recommend creating custom benchmarks for your most commonly used roles. 

Most of our licence options include one free custom benchmark per licence year. Additional benchmarks can be purchased from $2,500 (ex. GST)

If a participant has an extreme right result on the Good Impression scales of both the Personality Assessment and Attitudes assessment, we call that a “Good Impression double whammy”. 

Although this is not a reason to rule someone out, it does warrant further investigation. If you decide to interview, we recommend completing the interview faking rating checklist afterwards, to test if this exaggeration has continued.

Integrations

Effectiveness

Care Advantage is integrated into the following platforms:

The first step in exploring integration options is to contact the other party with which the Care Advantage assessments are to be integrated. Most often this is your ATS. They will be able to tell you if this is possible, what is required and any associated costs.

The following HR metrics are relevant in relation to the effectiveness of the behavioural screening (this is not an exhaustive list):

  • Staff turnover rate (annually, monthly)
  • Staff turnover rate in first 12 months of employment (how long do new starters stay)
  • Involuntary turnover (number of employees who had to leave to business involuntarily. Those that you would not want to rehire.)
  • Average Tenure
  • Time to fill a vacancy
  • Impact on Agency Cost
  • Time to create a shortlist
