Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We looked at person "fit" for the organization using a different instrument, but it did not provide us with any information on the overall general intelligence of the individual. It was also a verification for our other tool on the personality side - in some cases providing additional information we did not have. We do not use it as a selection tool but as a way of gathering better information about a candidate pre-employment for all positions in the organization.

Pros

Easy to administer
Valid, reliable results - Backed by rigorous science
Great "bang for the buck" - lots of good information in one place!

Cons

It would be helpful to have more interpretive reports; integrate some of the scales if possible - do scores on one scale have implications for scores on another? Is there any relationship between the scales? I enjoy the anchors showing people with high/low scores may demonstrate certain characteristics; additional elaboration/narrative might be helpful.
Better understanding of the scales and why certain scales matter on some jobs, not others. What does it mean when a score has/does not have bearing on that particular job? Why/Why not?
Maybe include examples of the types of positions for which the scale scores have meaning beyond the particular job in question. This might help with succession planning and development planning.

Likelihood to Recommend

Gave us GREAT information we wouldn't otherwise have had! This assessment is rooted in real research, holds up over time and helps get a picture of a candidate before they actually show up for work. The information in this assessment may help the employer understand what to expect in a given situation. It may also help them to understand where there may be a mismatch or disconnect for an individual in a given job. What great intel to have going into an employment relationship!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

My company uses WonScore Pre-Employment Testing for interviewing applications for sales associate positions. I have used several personality profiles over the last two decades. All of them give good information. None of them give information as valuable through a combination of accuracy and speed. I have used surveys that would return generous results and information but could take several days to receive. The market moves too quickly in my area to suffer these delays.

Pros

Speed
Valuable assessment targeted for my position
Very friendly user interface

Cons

A cold beer tap
A turkey pot pie
A little red wagon
In all seriousness, after trying in earnest, I can't think of anything

Likelihood to Recommend

We don't use this survey for ongoing personnel development, only pre-employment. It is particularly well suited to reveal how teachable the applicant is going to be. It's less intimidating than some other products like it.

WonScore Gets High Rating from me

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Wonscore [Pre-Employment Testing (formerly Wonderlic Employee & Customer Surveys)] as a screening tool. Advertise the position, get tons of resumes, sort them for a first cut. Those who make the first cut then are sent an invitation to participate in the Wonscore [Pre-Employment Testing] assessment. Which we encourage them to complete within 36 hours. When we receive their scores back, we eliminate another set and then interview amongst the survivors. Wonscore [Pre-Employment Testing (formerly Wonderlic Employee & Customer Surveys)] is an integral part of our hiring process.

Pros

Gives us a Cognitive score. Candidates must be moderate in smarts. Nothing makes up for smarts but smarts isn't all.
Gives us a sense of their Motivation. Recent applicant for a graphic designer job wasn't motivate by jobs requiring "artistic expression." That raised some eyebrows.
And allows the candidate to describe what they like and don't like or their Personality. This is important to me as a supervisor. Allows me to consider whether I would be comfortable supervising a confrontational person, for instance.
The instrument has proven to be very predictive and I've used it for 5 years. For 20 years prior to that, I used the Wonderlic paper-based assessment (cognitive only).

Cons

Very little thoughts on improvement other than a couple of betterments to candidate entry that would make life a little easier. However, no big deal.
Having some ability to preset some fields would help to avoid repetitive entry.

Likelihood to Recommend

As I described, [WonScore Pre-Employment Testing (formerly Wonderlic Employee & Customer Surveys)] is very useful in screening candidates for smarts, motivation, and personality quirks. Wouldn't interview candidate without it now.
