Applicant Potential Inventory (API™)

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.
