Pre-Employment Screening  

Avoid the gut-wrenching, astronomical impact of a mis-hire.

Recruiting industry experts tell us that the real cost of a bad hire is not only the obvious cash-flow-draining salary + benefits, loss of team productivity, and missed sales opportunities. Add in the negative psychological impact on company leadership—the hours of painfully exhausting thought and agonizing discussions on do-we-give-her-more-time or how-can-we-get-rid-of-him (hours which could be used on actual profit-building)—and the "real" costs of poor hiring decisions shoot through the roof. What if you could identify top talent more scientifically? Now you can, through our powerful, proven pre-employment screening services.

Improve revenues and peace-of-mind by hiring top talent the first time.

And now, these incredible tools are available to small and medium-sized businesses who absolutely cannot afford to mis-hire.

The LDP Profile utilizes 95 questions to derive two primary factors:

Achievement Drive is described as the focus and intensity with which an individual approaches common activities as well as long term goals. At opposite ends of the Achievement Drive continuum are two primary approaches: methodical and urgent.

Relational Drive describes the extent to which an individual engages emotionally in common circumstances. At opposite ends of the Relational Drive continuum are two primary approaches: guarded and expressive.

From these drive sources and by plotting the results using a standardized 2x2 grid, one of four “Styles” will emerge. The four styles, with bullet point previews, are as follows:

Collaborative People-focused Offers steady, consistent effort Careful; cautious Nurturing; sensitive; encouraging Conforming; reliable AKA, “The Counselor”	Adaptive People-focused Offers intense, fluctuating effort Bold; risk-taker; competitive Excitable; charismatic Easily bored; impulsive AKA, “The Coach”
Contemplative Task-focused Offers measured, focused effort Careful; distant; reserved Analytical; critical Inquisitive; cautious AKA, “The Analyst”	Directive Task-focused Offers intense, focused effort Bold; confident Impatient; dominant Classic “Type-A” AKA, “The Director”

Each drive will then be further explored using five influences.

Achievement Drive is influenced by: Work Intensity Assertiveness Uncertainty Avoidance Adaptability Perception

Relational Drive is influenced by: Status Motivation Affiliation Consideration Openness Self-Protection
