"It was truly an honor to work alongside of and benefit from the counsel of Dr. Steele. She’s an astute evaluator with compelling clinical accuracy. This, paired with her calm demeanor and collaborative approach, make her very pleasant to work with. I highly recommend her, and always refer to her with confidence.”
- Amanda Reszkowski, LCSW, CEAP, ICGC
A PPA evaluates the psychological, emotional, and cognitive qualifications of a prospective employee.
An FFD is a mental health evaluation in which a licensed psychologist performs tests and provides feedback about a current employee's mental fitness to perform a specific job.
At SEAS, our clinical psychologists are always available to help business owners, executives, and HR professionals make more efficient hiring decisions.
At SEAS, our expert team of doctoral psychologists, led by Dr. Steele, sets us apart from other pre-hire screening or employee evaluation services.
Our unique process of administering and analyzing psychological evaluations for employment has been personally developed by Dr. Steele over many years after conducting hundreds of psychological evaluations for various organizations.
With SEAS, you can be confident you're getting the most thorough and accurate data about candidate and employee suitability available.
SEAS psychological assessments go beyond one-size-fits-all pre-hire screening tools and talent assessments that are standard in the industry.
In these unstable and volatile times, hiring well-equipped employees that can successfully meet the psychological, emotional, and cognitive demands of a job is crucial.
If you're a business owner, executive, or human resource manager, you understand the complexities of finding the right person for the position.
Hiring Is Complicated ... and Frustrating
According to research, up to 78% of resumes are misleading and up to 46% contain falsified information! (https://medium.com/hr-blog-resources)
Hiring the wrong person for the wrong role compromises efficiency and increases costs to the employer. This could lead to a liability of assets and an imminent security, safety, and lawsuit threat.
Computerized Data Isn't Enough
Though standardized pre-hire screenings and talent assessments can provide valuable information about a candidate's personality, skills, traits, cognitive ability, and motivation, this generic data never tells the whole story about the psychological suitability of a candidate for a specific job.
Hiring someone for a key position who isn't psychologically equipped for the job can change the culture of your organization overnight.
Hiring managers, employment services, and HR personnel are simply not trained to screen for the comprehensive psychological, emotional, and cognitive suitability of a candidate.
Customized Assessments
Every candidate, organization, and job position is unique. Standard employment screenings don't account for this.
You need professional insight from a reputable doctor of psychology about how a candidate is likely behave, perform, and function in your organization BEFORE you hire them.
Your organization can't afford a hiring mistake.
A SEAS psychological screening identifies psychological, emotional, and cognitive suitability for job success, as well as potential risk factors.
Don't Waste Resources
According to a report by the Society for Human Resource Management, it costs an employer, at minimum, over $4,000 and takes an average of 42 days to fill an open position.
And in today's competitive economy, the more specialized (or demanding) a position is, the higher the cost to fill it.
Acquiring just one new employee requires a substantial investment of resources, even when the new employee is well-suited.
Reduce Risk From Day One
In today's complex hiring landscape, employers must dedicate more resources than ever before to hirings, and their teams have more demands than ever before.
Increasingly, employees are working remotely without direct supervision or support. They have access to sensitive data. They sign on to internal networks that are vulnerable to security breeches. They use expensive technology that can cost thousands to replace.
Furthermore, because employees have to deal with conflict and uncertainty in the workplace like never before, they can easily get stressed and overwhelmed. This pressure can lead to poor judgment and less-than-ideal decisions in the workplace.
Predict Employee Success
Psychological testing can help better ensure the selection of a candidate with the ability to act in a safe, ethical, and trustworthy manner--even under stressful situations.
