EmploySmart® The Informed Hiring SystemTM
Exclusively from OneGroup
EmploySmart® The Informed Hiring SystemTM, helps protect you from unnecessary risks associated with hiring the wrong job candidates.
According to recent surveys, workplace injuries and illnesses are costing U.S. companies more than $50 billion annually. EmploySmart® focuses on the root cause of much of this cost—poor hiring decisions. EmploySmart® provides defensible information on an applicant’s ability to perform a job based on objective data rather than on subjective reports that put you at risk. The assessment is designed in accordance with the Americans With Disabilities Act, allowing the employer to determine if the applicant can physically perform the essential functions of the job. The prospective employee also benefits because they are assured that they are matched to the job requirements.
EmploySmart® is the smartest way to eliminate unnecessary legal and compensation cost.

- EmploySmart® offers the critical analysis and documentation required to protect your company from the threat of hiring someone else’s problem employee or hiring someone who is not a match to the job.
