to help represent providers of assessment, selection, screening,

The API assessment can help increase the quality of hiring
decisions within minutes. The API can help you build strong
customer and employee relations; improve productivity and
profitability; and reduce employee turnover and theft.
Normative data is based on relevant groups.
Validation studies have been conducted and are available upon
request.
The API report includes scale scores and Significant Behavioral
Indicators - a narrative list to help pinpoint areas for further
investigation. In addition, interview questions corresponding to an
applicant's specific responses are also provided.
