Accurately Assessing skill, potential, and readiness of candidates and employees is a challenge facing every organization. The CPI assessment center leverages the experience of its assessment psychologists and the best in assessment technology to support clients in addressing these critical business issues. For example:

• The cost of a poor hiring decision has been estimated to be at least 200% of a candidate's annual salary. The CPI pre-employment assessment process greatly increases the chances of hiring a high performer and significantly reduces the frequency of hiring employees with problems or who may represent a poor fit with the organization's culture and expectations.
• The development assessment is designed to help high-potential employees grow their self insight and take a more focused approach to self development. The process can also assist under-performers who are struggling in their current roles.

The CPI assessment process uses multiple techniques to measure individual capability. These techniques include:

• Interviews with an assessment psychologist
• Ability and personality testing
• Work-simulation exercises
• Survey techniques, such as one-on-one interviews with management, peers, and subordinates, etc., are commonly added to development assessments.

The goal is to integrate information from multiple measures to arrive at the most accurate picture possible and to communicate this information in a clear and understandable fashion to the client.
