The questionnaire portion of the system is a behavioral inventory, a commonly used and widely accepted method for accurately predicting human behavior. It contains 81 statements which are answered as being either true or false. It can be completed in 12 to 20 minutes, by phone (ERI^® Phone), the Internet (ERI^® Web), at a computer (ERI^® Win) or in a paper and pencil format. Scores are presented for each of the seven work behavior skill areas assessed by the ERI^® System. These results predict the likelihood of reliable and productive work behavior in each of the seven skill areas. 

During interviewing and reference checking you can use a candidate's results to systematically explore the specific work behaviors that have been identified as possible problems. This process is simple and straightforward. Interviewing and checking references becomes more objective, structured, and focused. By concentrating on the specific work behavior problems identified by the results, you are able to accurately assess job candidates in an extremely time-efficient manner.

With ERI^® Phone and ERI^® Web, the ERI^® system is part of an integrated hiring solution. This comprehensive process allows you to place help wanted ads in your usual manner, additionally listing a toll-free phone number and/or internet address to which interested applicants should respond. Responding applicants are given a description of your company and the specific position for which they are applying. They are then asked a number of questions, custom designed by you, to determine if they meet the minimum requirements of the position. If they meet these requirements, they are automatically moved on to the administration of the ERI^® questionnaire. The results of all responding applicants are stored in an on-line database, which you can use to track the status and results of each individual applicant who has applied for the position.
