Proposal for Conducting Candidate Screens

In my current workplace, there is a necessity to promote two care management coordinators to the position of senior care management coordinators as I prepare for my promotion to team supervisor. The role of a senior care management coordinator entails leading and guiding staff, managing complex cases, and executing tasks typical of a care management coordinator. Key skills sought in candidates include effective communication and interaction with patients and families from diverse cultural backgrounds, multitasking abilities, and the capacity to handle stretch assignments such as training new hires and managing existing caseloads. Additionally, essential attributes include organizational skills, teamwork, leadership, decision-making, and self-management.

Standardized Testing

Three standardized tests identified as beneficial for screening job candidates are the Adaptive Employee Personality Test, Work Personality Inventory, and Caliper Profile. The Adaptive Employee Personality Test evaluates prospective employees and can identify areas for development. The Work Personality Inventory assesses motives, cognitive styles, and attitude drivers in the workplace. The Caliper Profile measures candidates across various dimensions, including leadership, communication, decision-making, and self-management.

Structured Interview

Structured interview questions have been developed to thoroughly evaluate candidates:

Multitasking and Time Management	Leadership Experience	Unique Qualities and Fit for the Role
Decision-making and Team Support	Collaboration on Complex Cases	Morale Boosting and Crisis Management
Flexibility and Overtime	Leadership Style	Support for Colleagues in Unsafe Situations
Career Aspirations	Maintaining Team Morale	Supporting Struggling Colleagues
Organizational Skills	Staying Current with Resources	Crisis Support for Members and Colleagues

These questions are designed to assess various competencies and experiences relevant to the role.

Selection Test Differentiation

The tests are intended to differentiate candidates based on their behavioral traits, cognitive styles, attitudes, and work-related competencies. Each test offers unique insights into an individual’s potential contributions and suitability for the position.

Ethical Considerations on Testing

Ethical considerations in testing include avoiding personal questions, respecting candidate privacy, and refraining from imposing personal beliefs. It is crucial to maintain confidentiality to prevent discrimination based on personal information shared during the interview process.

Conclusion

The Adaptive Employee Personality Test, Work Personality Inventory, and Caliper Profile provide valuable insights for screening job candidates. It is essential to uphold ethical considerations throughout the process. A structured interview process enhances objectivity and effectiveness in candidate evaluation.
