Hogan Assessment Systems Announces A New Tool For Hiring Effective Employees For The Security Industry

Security personnel today must handle situations that just a few years ago were hardly imaginable. This challenging environment requires new measures to screen job applicants for sensitive positions, from police officers to airport personnel. Today, Hogan Assessment Systems, the leader in comprehensive assessment for employee selection and development, unveiled a new employee selection report tailored specifically for the security industry.

The Hogan Security and Law Enforcement Report helps organizations more effectively select employees based on a number of personality characteristics that are often not identifiable in the interview process. The true/false assessment, which takes about 30 minutes to administer, helps organizations uncover seemingly undetectable behavioral characteristics that cause candidates to be a liability instead of an asset once on the job.

For example, the Report identifies candidates who act emotionally in a crisis situation or exercise poor vigilance in a high-risk situation. It will also help screen those candidates with a propensity to commit theft, violate procedure, be insubordinate or possess other characteristics that can be incompatible with security or law enforcement careers. These and other top concerns for security-related firms, such as dependability and strong work ethic, are addressed with this new tool.

"The Hogan Security and Law Enforcement Report is founded on our extensive experience in the field, such as work we have done in screening candidates for highly sensitive positions in airports,' said Dr. Rodney Warrenfeltz, managing partner for Hogan Assessment Systems. "It is the perfect tool for agencies and companies of all sizes in the security field. We can identify with a great degree of certainty individuals who are not a good fit for a security position, thus avoiding problem employees — not to mention the time and additional cost of hiring and training a replacement employee later.'

In addition, all of Hogan Assessment Systems' selection tools were developed in strict compliance with recognized legal and scientific standards, and have been validated in more than 400 organizations.
