Step One Survey®: Your First Line of Hiring Confidence

The Step One Survey® is a quick, pre-hire assessment that helps you evaluate a candidate’s basic work-related values early in the hiring process.

It measures key traits like:

• Work ethic
• Reliability
• Integrity
• Attitudes toward substance use and theft (including time, data, and property)

Used as a first screening step, this tool helps you identify high-risk applicants before investing more time in the interview process. That means you can focus your energy on qualified candidates who align with your organization's values—and contribute to long-term success.
