Just because Ben Franklin wanted to make the turkey the national bird, doesn't mean that you have to hire one!

Hire the wrong one and you may have serious problems!

Unhappy customers, workplace disruptions, maybe even a lawsuit.

The problem is--the job interview and background check may not be enough. During the job interview people are on their best behavior and former employers are reluctant to tell you the truth.

Now, you can meet this challenge by using the Workplace Attitudes Test (WAT). It is the absolute best "bad attitude" screen-out test available.

WAT was developed by researching problem employees and it is designed to identify bad attitudes in the workplace.

WAT comes with a money-back guarantee.

“If you don’t want to ask someone 'Are you an asshole?' you should use this test. " 

Honcho at a Motor Scooter Store

“$49 bucks, you’re kidding me? (I mean this in a good way.)"

Supervisor, Boat Supply Store

“Believe me, there are bad apples out there and this test keeps them out of your barrel.”

Owner, Auto Shop

“You can’t believe the number of jerks out there. I interview a lot of kids. Some pampered and spoiled. The WAT screener makes my job much easier. At an amusement park you want patient and polite employees. Believe me, this separates the wheat from shaft.”

Manager at an Amusement Park

“We promoted a clean-freak perfectionist for out fabric and sewing store thinking that this was a good thing. Now there are no fabric remnants on the floor but some of our best sales clerks have quit and customer complaints are rampant. From now on I’ll be using the Workplace Attitudes Test for promoting supervisors as well as new hires.”  

Fabric Store Manager

“I used the WAT on about ten new hires. Then I hired the next ten on my own. After a sexual harassment lawsuit by one of my hires, I’m back to using the WAT. Would this have made a difference? Probably. I don’t know why Dr. Paulson lowered the price.”

Manager, Lawn Service

“Given the (often hidden) cost of jerks why wouldn’t you use a pre-employment bad-attitude screener?”

Manager, Fast Food Franchise

“With a money back guarantee, it’s a no-brainer”

Restaurant Manager

 “If you think that this test is better than just an interview, you’re a better interviewer than me.”

Locksmith Store Owner

 “In my opinion, HR keeps a lot of good people from getting the job; the WAT keeps bad-attitude people from getting the job.”
