GENERAL INFORMATION
-
The RECRU-TECTM test is a diagnostic tool based on the evaluation of over 20,000 candidates. Its purpose is to evaluate a person's potential against a specific job, in a specific work environment. It helps the employer undertake a matching analysis or compatibility check between required job qualifications and the evaluated person's professional experience, skills and motivations.
-
The RECRU-TECTM test is not a judgment tool; it should be exclusively used as part of a complete selection procedure, including a formal interview, a thorough technical skills analysis and a background check - in respect of applicable national laws. We strongly recommend that you use our No-Fail-HiringTM System, a simple but powerful procedure that guarantees to minimize subjectivity and optimizes prediction in your selection & hiring decisions.
-
Never use the RECRU-TECTM test to judge a person, but rather to know and understand him/her better. Consider the RECRU-TECTM test as a powerful companion to your overall selection procedure. It will help you confirm what you might have observed during an interview and/or challenge what you might not have seen.

The purpose of this tool is to evaluate a candidate's potential against a specific job, in a specific work environment. It helps you do a « matching analysis » or « compatibility check » between required job qualifications and the candidate's professional experience, skills and motivations.
-
Some traits in the RECRU-TECTM test results may present very low scores - a potential indicator that the evaluated person has recently gone through some serious difficulties or bad experience, at work or in life. Please ensure that you thoroughly read and understand the comments provided in this profile report, specifically related to these very low traits. As a matter of facts, a major failure, loss, disappointment, etc... could temporarily "collapse" one's personality and behavior characteristics. The RECRU-TECTM test will provide such comments when we believe it might be applicable.
-
Per applicable laws related to privacy and specifically per the E.E.O.A. (Equal Employment Opportunity Act), no candidate can be forced to fill a productivity or personality test for selection purposes. Also, anyone filling a test for selection purposes has a right to have access to the provided information.
