Benefits of Pre-Screening Your Workforce

• The BTI process of pre-screening for reading and math achievement ensures that the trainee has the necessary academic aptitude to train successfully.
• The BTI manual dexterity test used in pre-screening guarantees that the trainees will be talented at following written instructions to perform hands-on tasks.
• A BTI pre-screen for the ability to follow instructions increases the probability that the trainee will adhere to standard operating procedures.
• Your company's interviews with potential trainees ensure that the qualified applicant will fit well with the current workforce. Including the company supervisor in BTI pre-screening and the interview process is a good way to preview all potential trainees.
• BTI provides a three-month pre-employment training program that screens out applicants with a poor work ethic and those for whom the job is not suited. This will decrease turnover and improve productivity of your newly hired BTI employee.
