Project Services
Focused projects to design, improve, or validate hiring processes and performance evaluation.
How Project Services Work
Sift HR takes on focused projects to develop new approaches, improve what you already use, and evaluate how well your current processes are working. Typical project work includes structured interviews, work samples, other pre-hire assessments, performance evaluation materials and scale development, and statistical validation of how well assessments predict performance, satisfaction, turnover, or other key workplace outcomes.
Our work is grounded in the requirements of your roles and leading research so that the resulting tools and processes are job-related, evidence-based, and built to support meaningful, measurable improvements in hiring and performance decisions.
Pre-Hire Assessments
Sift HR designs, refines, and helps organizations select pre-hire assessments grounded in the requirements of the role and established research.
Structured Interviews
Develop or refine structured interviews built around the requirements of the role. Projects may include job-related questions, scoring criteria, rating scales, interviewer guidance, and structured evaluation forms.
Work Samples
Develop or refine work samples or job simulations that give candidates an opportunity to demonstrate job-relevant skills and abilities. Projects may include task design, administration guidance, scoring criteria, and structured evaluation materials.
Other Pre-Hire Assessments
Select, develop, or refine assessment methods that fit the role and strengthen the hiring process. Projects may include assessments of personality, interests, values, abilities, and other job-relevant characteristics, including commercially available assessments and tools, structured application or biodata approaches, and scoring methods.
Performance Evaluation
Develop or improve performance evaluation materials that reflect what successful performance looks like in the role. Projects may include performance dimensions, rating scales, behaviorally anchored scales, scoring procedures, and evaluation forms.
Statistical Validation Studies
Conduct statistical validation studies that determine how interviews, work samples, and other hiring assessments actually relate to performance and other key workplace outcomes. These flagship studies show how well new, refined, or existing selection measures predict performance, satisfaction, turnover, and other relevant outcomes, and provide clear, evidence-based criteria for improving selection decisions.
