The Harrison Assessment® will accurately predict (based on validated studies) how a person is going to perform against solid performance criteria that discern high, medium and low performers within your organization.
The ability to predict job performance is dependent upon identifying all of the critical factors. If one assesses eligibility or technical competencies, it only represents a portion of the critical factors to predict performance. When behavioral competencies are also measured, such as emotional intelligence, personality, and work preferences, a high degree of accuracy is attained to predict performance.
Enjoyment Performance Theory states that an individual will perform more effectively in a job if they enjoy the tasks required by that job, have interests that relate to the position, and have work environment preferences that correspond with the environment of the workplace.
Harrison Assessment’s global research indicates that the enjoyment of these various aspects of a job is highly correlated with good performance.
Harrison Assessment’s Paradox Theory provides a greater depth of psychological understanding because it reveals an entire system of behavior rather than merely offering insights about specific traits. It also predicts stress behavior and provides a framework that facilitates objective understanding of self and a clear direction for self-development.
In the example (one of the 12 main Harrison Assessment’s paradoxes), this manager tends to be very warm and empathetic, but sometimes avoids enforcing necessary rules. Thus, the manager’s normal range of behavior (large circle) tends to be permissive. However, according to the principles of Paradox Theory, that behavior will “flip” and the manager will become harsh or punitive when under stress
Companies often hire the wrong candidates or fail to hire the best candidates because they don’t have a systematic approach that measures ALL the qualifications and behavioral competencies needed to predict job success. Although most employers desire predictability, few companies have the time or expertise to create effective Job Success Formulas.
Harrison Assessments solves this costly problem by providing more than 6500 proven and pre-configured Job Success Formulas to help your organization easily and accurately assess the eligibility and suitability factors that lead to job success
The eligibility component of each Job Success Formula evaluates how applicants compare to the ideal levels of education, experience, and skills based on your organization’s specific needs.
The suitability component of each Job Success Formula evaluates how each applicant compares to a complete set of proven suitability or behavioral traits that are specific to the job function. These customizable factors include attitudes, motivations, interpersonal skills, interests, work values, and work preferences.
The Job Success Formulas automatically generate interview weighting guidelines, as well as specific behavioral interview questions. These guide the interviewer to obtain important insight related to the key job success factors, as well as provide a consistent scoring method for each factor. Harrison’s system provides sophisticated, yet easy-to-use options for weighting, scoring and customizing Job Success Formulas to reflect an organization’s specific needs and core values.
Harrison Assessment’s Job Success Formulas are developed from 24+ years of research and provide a comprehensive integrated hiring system. The final assessment score measures candidates eligibility, suitability, and interview scores against the IDEAL candidate for the position in your organization.

Our automatically generated pre-employment screening targets your specific requirements for qualification. It measures eligibility factors such as education, experience and skills producing an overall “eligibility score” that saves up to 80% administration time by ranking the applicants according to eligibility. It eliminates the need to review resumes except for qualified candidates. In addition to making deeply informed recruiting and hiring decisions, employers utilizing Harrison’s Talent Acquisition Solutions reduce time to hire and minimize assessment costs. Most importantly, the system provides an overall score as a guideline for each step in the recruitment process ensuring the best candidates are hired.
For qualified applicants, the assessment process automatically proceeds to a behavioral questionnaire. The results of the behavioral questionnaire are calculated based on the job analysis for the specific job. It automatically selects from 175 factors to measure only job specific behavioral requirements. In addition to assessing behavioral competencies, it evaluates likely employee engagement and job satisfaction. By focusing on both the employee’s and employer’s needs, Harrison measures the degree to which mutual needs will be met, resulting in higher levels of employee engagement and retention. In addition, the easy-to-understand reports empower managers with on-boarding tools that facilitate accelerated engagement and performance.
Harrison’s proprietary SmartQuestionnaire™ contains multiple layers of technological and psychological mechanisms to detect and prevent deception while minimizing the time it takes to complete the questionnaire (25 minutes). Harrison’s Paradox Technology™ reveals whether strong behavioral tendencies are actually strengths or derailers in a given role—something other assessments fail to do. The Enjoyment Performance Methodology™ accurately predicts performance, engagement, retention, job satisfaction and career potential. Harrison’s Decision Analytics identify the precise factors that will facilitate or inhibit success in the job.
Harrison Assessment’s automated process and recruitment system dramatically elevates the quality of interviews by consistently focusing on key success factors and revealing behavioral issues that normally take months or years to discover. It transforms the candidate experience by enabling the interviewer to focus on mutual needs rather than only the needs of the company. It provides the interviewer with the key information necessary to offer top talent what they want.
