Smart Interview: Smart Hire

PXT Select™ is a pre-employment screening tool that helps you select candidates and match them with the jobs for which they are best suited, based on their core behaviors. It offers selection and employment assessment tools that help organizations make smarter hiring decisions by providing actionable data about the people you employ now and may hire in the future.

PXT Select™ measures candidate attributes and compares them with role requirements. It evaluates qualities that influence effectiveness and productivity, including thinking and reasoning style, behavioral traits, and occupational interests. The assessment identifies individual strengths and development areas to provide a complete profile. Results can support placement, promotion, self-improvement, coaching, succession planning, and job description development.

PXT Select™ generates its reports in 14 additional languages. The reports provide interview questions, coaching comments, job match information, graphs, job descriptions, candidate descriptions and other valuable information about a candidate or employee and his/her potential.

Introduction to PAC (Partner Access Center)

The Profiles Assessment Center (PAC) is an interactive website which allows users to manage their Wiley products online. In the PAC, users schedule and manage assessments, create Performance Models, manage meter availability, and much more.

As a client of NexaLearning, our “Pilot 2 Select” Program includes access to all your assessments and reports from within PAC. The currency used in PAC is called a Meter. A Meter is consumed when a PXT Select™ assessment is scored. Clients may send assessment invitations to candidates, but Meters are only used when assessments are completed by candidates. In order to run the reports that include more than one person, a Meter is required for each individual in the report.
