Determine Ethics

You can decline to hire because of poor attitude, but you cannot fire an employee for it post-hire. Therefore, it is also important to screen out applicants with poor attitudes toward honesty, ethics, reliability and/or substance abuse. Quick, simple and inexpensive assessments can accurately reveal these poor attitudes pre-interview.

Ready for more good news? Assessments also allow you to determine someone’s personality traits, interests and mental capabilities — the characteristics that make up that successful driver. Use of assessment virtually assures new hires will be successful before you hire them.

As an operator in California recently stated: “These tools have made our hiring process much more time efficient and productive. Now we only interview applicants who ‘have what it takes’ to be successful.”

Companies in the vending, OCS and foodservice industries are finding the job match method approach to hiring a much more efficient and productive process than the traditional inefficient and costly hiring methods used in the past.

Operators currently using these hiring tools include: Treat America, Custom Coffee Plan, McMurray Coin, Eagle Vending and Pavlic Vending. NAMA has also reported success, as has Custom Data Solutions, a data service supplier to the industry, and Patterson Co. Inc., a Midwest vend product broker.
