For some job positions, screening is used to quickly identify suitable candidates from a large applicant pool. To accommodate screening, two personality screening lenses and one intelligence screening lens are added to the Assessio Lens Library.
When the Integrity or Service Screening lens are used within a Recruitment, candidates that are invited to that Recruitment receive a shorter version of the Personality measure MAP, namely MAP Essence. Instead of the 200 MAP questions, MAP Essence uses 75 questions. This provides a quicker assessment process. Use these screening lenses when you have a large applicant pool and want to quickly assess which candidates are of interest, using only a small job-match description; for instance in Retail and Hospitality.
Integrity Screening
The Integrity screening lens evaluates a candidate’s ability to follow rules and assesses the risk of harmful behavior at work. Higher scores indicates a stronger presence of behaviors associated with a willingness to follow rules, internalized values, norms and expectations, which is associated with positive organizational citizenship behaviors. Lower scores indicates an increased risk for a candidate’s likelihood to exhibit Counterproductive Work Behavior (CWB), which are actions that harm the organization or its employees.
Service Screening
The Service screening lens assesses a candidate’s service-oriented qualities and measures their likelihood of performing well in a service-oriented role. The lens predicts customer service related performance by using the predictive power of the big five traits towards behaviors that enhance the service offering and exceed customer expectations. This lens aims to quickly and effectively identify candidates suited for customer service roles based on personality traits.
Problem-solving Screening
A third screening lens is the Problem-solving lens, which assesses the problem-solving aptitude. This screening lens is different because it does not use MAP data at all and instead only relies on the Matrigma assessment, measuring fluid intelligence. Using this lens means that all candidates are only invited to complete Matrigma. The Match score of each candidate is therefore entirely based on the results of Matrigma, often referred to as Problem-solving aptitude.
Note that when you choose to use a Screening lens, it will not be possible to switch to other lenses or add competencies when viewing the outcomes in the Compare Candidates page, as these require both MAP and Matrigma data.
