Multi-Level
Assessment (MLA)

MLA (Multi-level Assessment) is new thinking in hiring and promotion. Instead of focusing on selection for one job title, position or level, MLA addresses hiring across the entire organization.

One of the biggest HR issues companies face is maintaining consistency in valid hiring and promotion systems across the entire organization. The problem with even good selection tools has been getting everyone to use them the same way. In many companies, there are significant variations in interviewing approaches, testing content and competency formats both within and between job levels and geographic locations. These variations include the steps used for hiring and promoting as well as the content used for evaluation. The net result is unnecessary legal exposure and tremendous fluctuations in the quality of selection decisions made.

After nearly 20 years of research, Select International has determined that the only way to ensure organization-wide consistency is to begin with the enterprise in mind. MLA is the first selection program that is designed like an enterprise-wide software application. All users, including hiring managers, have desktop access to the appropriate hiring steps and evaluation content for making selection decisions for every job. Structures are put in place to ensure that hiring managers follow the processes and tight security measures ensure that confidential content is kept secure.

From an HR perspective, you no longer have to be concerned that there are rogue hiring approaches being used with your company's name on them. All content has been validated using the highest standards outlined in the Uniform Guidelines. The entire process can be used as a stand alone hiring system or integrated seamlessly into your Applicant Tracking System. Most importantly, users find MLA to be a relief rather than a burden because everything they need is at their fingertips.
