The Omnia 720 Composite®
For large volume users, we offer The Omnia 720 Composite®. We “revalidate” The Omnia Profile® on a minimum of 30 of your best people all performing the same job in the same workplace.
Then, over the Internet or using a CD in your office, candidates can be compared to your best people in 12 critical areas:
· the need to win
· the need for security
· the need to give and receive appreciation
· the need for proof
· the need for variety and change
· the need for stability
· the need for freedom and independence
· the need for structure and rules
· stamina, “learnability” and staying-power
· maturity, realism, commitment, purposefulness
· intensity, the “volume” of behavioral characteristics
· stress tolerance and probable reaction to stressful situations
Clearly, candidates for employment, promotion or transfer who are similar to the 30-top performer control group have a high probability of conducting themselves in a manner similar to the control group.
And if they are dissimilar, learn how a candidate might be better than the control group!
Omnia Background Search (OBS) because what you don’t know can hurt you!
Before investing hundreds or thousands in finding and bringing a new hire to a point of productivity, wouldn’t less than $100 be a sound investment to:
· verify social security number?
· verify claimed education?
· verify claimed previous employment?
· verify claimed licenses and permits?
· check for criminal convictions?
· check driving records (do 3 DUIs in the last six months only mean the candidate is “unlucky”)?
· personal credit, especially if the candidate is going to have access to cash or important records?
Omnia specialists often get information denied to a prospective employer because we are “neutral” and because we are experienced… we know how to ask the right questions! And because we are experienced, we do background checks quickly. And in case you and Omnia miss something and you are hit with a negligent hiring law suit, we carry $2 million in E&O insurance.
We can even arrange for convenient and dignified drug screening in your area if you happen to insist on a drug-free workplace.
OBS – a good investment and a good bit of insurance.
