In the hiring process, it’s important to identify candidates who will be honest, contribute reliably to the workplace, and ensure the proper flow of daily activity without interruption or malfeasance. Step One Survey® is a brief pre-hire assessment and screening tool that measures an individual’s basic work-related values early in the candidate selection process. This assessment provides valid insight into an applicant’s work ethic, reliability, integrity, propensity for substance abuse, and attitudes towards theft—including the theft of property, data, and time. 

In many organizations, the Step One Survey is the first screen that all applicants must pass before proceeding to the next steps of the hiring process. By filtering candidates early in the process, this tool saves you time so that you can focus on hiring the right candidates that fuel the success of your organization.
