FirstView

FirstView is designed to be quick and easy to use. It provides accurate and reliable information on the job-related behavior of individuals, without the need for expert interpretation or special training. The program can be used for job applicants and current employees. FirstView is made up of 2 major components: Personality, a 10 minute Assessment and Cognitive, a 6 minute timed Assessment.

FirstView can be administered online allowing you to immediately print reports and generate interview questions. Several reports are produced by FirstView. Each report describes the participant's normal behavior in terms of six personality traits. When the Cognitive element is included, the report describes the candidate's Reasoning Ability and then correlates that score with Personality. FirstView provides behavioral interview questions for fifteen different job categories:

• Administrative
• Customer Service
• Driver
• Engineering
• Financial
• Food Service
• Health Care
• Hospitality
• Information Technology
• Management
• Persuasive Sales
• Production
• Retail Sales
• Telemarketing
• Warehouse


FirstView interview questions were selected to probe specific areas of concern identified by the assessment. The user can plan an in-depth interview, choosing from a selection of 24 interview questions provided with each candidate's FirstView report. Suggested uses for this instrument are in high turnover, high volume positions. It can be used in the hiring process and it is usually filled out at the same time as the application. The behavioral interview questions generated are then used in the follow-up interview.
