Organisations spend a great deal of time and money on selection systems such as interviews, assessment instruments, and reference checking. It is important for organisations to ensure the cost-effectiveness of their processes, while retaining the highest standard of candidate. The Prospect Screener allows organisations to process a large number of job applicants in a short space of time, allowing for thescreening out of candidates that do not meet the minimum requirements of the job.

The assessment measures basic job capabilities, and by measuring constructs such as basic vocabulary and arithmetic, detail-orientation, emotional stability, and dependability, the Prospect Screener acts as a starting point for further assessment. Successful candidates would then undergo more thorough assessments to ensure candidate suitability for the specific job.

In addition to an Overall Prospect score, the report also provides scores on 5 scales:

• Words
