- To provide the necessary learning strategies and techniques unique to each student

Organizationally, HRI&C strives to increase the reliability of the results for each individual, department, and organization. It is believed unethical to only administer self-contained tests or inventories then send a dubious computerized report through the mail and consider that a full evaluation. Each candidate is unique and each company deserves to know the highest potential to better determine the good match between the two. Knowledge, skills, and abilities are key factors in determining the best person for the best placement.
When professional and clinical interview, observation, and psychometrics are combined, the results of any assessments are as high as 97% in reliability.

Historically, employers depend upon résumés, references, and interviews as sources of information for making hiring decisions. In practice, these sources have proved inadequate for consistently selecting good employees. The use of assessments has resulted in extraordinary increases in productivity while reducing employee relations problems, employee turnover, stress, tension, conflict and overall human resources expenses.
Several factors contribute to the failure of traditional hiring methods. Résumés often contain false claims of education and experience while omitting information that would help employers make better hiring decisions. When training employees, a “one size fits all” approach has failed to provide the desired results, and when selecting people for promotion, otherwise excellent employees have too often been miscast into roles they could not perform satisfactorily. Business references are of little value because most past-employers will tell you nothing but “name, rank and serial number.”
