The document discusses using pre-hire testing to improve organizational performance by reducing the costs of bad hires. It outlines the true costs of a bad hire, which can include lost productivity, expenses associated with recruiting and training replacement workers, and impacts on employee morale. The presentation then argues that pre-hire testing can help lower the risks of a bad hire by providing a more accurate assessment of a candidate's suitability for a position based on comparing their behavioral profile to that of successful employees in similar roles. Customizable pre-hire tests are positioned as helping hiring managers choose candidates that are the best fit for both the job and organizational culture.
