BENEFITS! Assure Business Success by Hiring the Right People!

The Alliance’s Auto Employee Assessment System, offered in conjunction with Assessment Associates International (AAI), will help AASP-MN members identify employees that not only have the technical skills for the job, but also good motivation, work habits and people skills.

How does it work?

• Job candidates complete one of two questionnaires:

• Service Advisor/Estimator

• Technician - including mechanical, body or painter

• Candidates are assessed on motivation, attitude, dependability, initiative and other “soft skills.”

• Assessments are completed over the internet at any time of day

PROPERTY/LIABILITY AND WORKERS’ COMP INSURANCE

CBIZ

Contact: Brad Schmid 763-549-2247 / bschmid@cbiz.com or night, and results are emailed to the employer within minutes of questionnaire completion.

• Scores are presented comparing the candidate to current, successful AASP-MN member employees.

• Shops use the information to identify candidates that are a good fit with their work environment.

• AASP-MN has validated these assessment tools, demonstrating their accuracy, fairness and legal defensibility.

Why use it?

• Enhanced employee effectiveness and fit with your work environment.

• More good hires and less turnover.

• Immediate results – a better bottom line for your shop.

• It’s an objective, valid and defensible hiring tool.

• It is affordable! AASP-MN member pricing is 50 percent off retail price and starts as low as $15 per assessment.
