How can employers tell whether the people they hire have integrity, are responsible, are drug-free, and are hardworking? The answer to that question is to use the Step One Survey® in the job applicant screening process.

The Step One Survey® is a new concept in honesty evaluations that is a step ahead of the traditional integrity tests on the market. Section I uses direct admission questions to explore an applicant's attitudes and background, while Section II compares the applicant's responses with those of two distinctly different groups -- recently released ex-convicts and long-term retail store employees with excellent work histories. The ex-convicts' crimes were predominantly offenses dealing with theft and drug use. Test items for the Step One Survey® consist of questions in which there were statistically significant differences between the two groups.

By administering the Step One Survey® to prospective employees, an employer can tell whether they think like people who have been convicted of serious crimes or people who have histories of integrity, responsibility, and drug-free, long-term employment. The Step One Survey® can make the difference between having a profitable, successful business and one that fails. It is an economical tool to help protect the assets of any business.
