Protect Your Bottom Line

If your company isn’t worried about fraud, than maybe you should think again. Businesses across the country do not think it is going to happen to them, but it is occuring more and more. The??Association of Certified Fraud Examiners?states, “U.S. businesses lose 7% of their annual revenues to fraud. That translates to approximately $994 billion in fraud losses.”

You may think big businesses are losing out on more money, but the small businesses had an average loss of $200,000 for less than 100 employees.

To help organizations reduce or mitigate the risk to their bottom line, Step One Survey? provides information businesses can use to hire employees who are honest, reliable, and hardworking. It’s a solution that helps find the right people to contribute to a company’s success—not jeopardize its future. You need to be able to trust the people you hire and they need your trust to feel accepted and productive.

What Is the Step One Survey?

The 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 in 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.

How Does Step One Survey Work?

While pen and paper options are available, hiring managers administer the survey by sharing an online link with each candidate. From there, the candidate takes the online survey on their own. Once the candidate finishes the survey, the hiring manager immediately receives a notification and can view the results.
