Assessments for Behavioral Health

Evaluate job knowledge and success factors that are critical to success in key clinical roles including social worker, case manager, substance abuse counselor and peer support specialist.

Use pre-hire for applicant screening, selection, and placement, and post-hire for professional development and competency evaluation.

Assess factors that contribute to the success of clinical and direct care staff, such as empathy and judgment, to inform your hiring decisions and identify areas of further development of existing staff.

Provide insight into your new hires’ and current employees’ role-specific job knowledge and skills so you can address any gaps or deficiencies in critical areas specific to direct care providers in behavioral health settings.

Strengthen the hiring process by adding validated assessments to traditional hiring methods (interview, reference check) for a more complete understanding of your candidates’ strengths.

Standardized Hiring

Each pre-hire assessment goes through a comprehensive content validation process. Experts perform a job analysis, create assessment items and tie them to key job-related factors, and set the initial cutoff score. All pre-hire assessments meet EEOC and Uniform Guidelines standards for use in selection decisions. Relias also routinely evaluates our assessments to ensure their efficacy and to minimize adverse impact as much as possible.

Gain insight into an individual’s knowledge and skill gaps that need to be addressed during the onboarding process to create tailored, targeted onboarding plans per an individual’s needs.

Ongoing evaluation of an employee’s competency aids managers in uncovering skills gaps and opportunities for improvement. This can help you to improve clinical care and reduced risk for the organization.

Providing employees with individualized development plans based on current knowledge and skills is a potent factor in employee engagement plans and reducing turnover.
