| The ability to conduct business on-line has become a key strategy for
many organisations. McQuaig On-Line® is the web-based
assessment system that allows you to do assessments on-line quickly and
efficiently using The McQuaig System™. McQuaig Word Surveys®, McQuaig Job Surveys® and
McQuaig Self-Development Surveys®
can be completed by candidates, current employees or managers on-line or
you can enter already completed Surveys yourself. All Surveys are
processed on a high-speed, secure server and you can choose which way
your designated representative receives Survey reports
— in Word.doc or PDF format, either as an
email attachment or a link to pick up the reports.
What are the advantages of McQuaig On-Line®?
McQuaig On-Line® offers the following benefits:
- Minimal administration
With the 'Assign' option, you can even choose to have the candidate enter his/her
responses so all your administrator has to do is input the candidate's
name and email address, a process that takes about thirty seconds. This
frees up your administrator's time for more valuable
— and fulfilling
— responsibilities. If you
prefer, you can still, of course, have the candidate complete the paper
form and then enter it yourself.
- Remote access
Candidates can complete The McQuaig Word Survey® without
having to come to your office. This is great for out-of-town candidates
or when you want to see results prior to your interview. Hiring managers
can complete The McQuaig Job Survey® from their branch
offices without having to fax in the results.
- 24/7 access
You can use McQuaig On-Line® anytime, anywhere, as long
as you have Internet access. You can assess candidates on evenings,
weekends, holidays.
- Multi-user access
McQuaig On-Line® can be used by
multiple users and you have the option of allowing different
departments/business units to share databases.
- Mistake-free
In the past our clients have told us that many candidates
— especially those who score low on the
Compliance scale — breeze through the
instruction page and fill in the forms incorrectly, causing delays and
extra work. McQuaig On-Line® forces candidates to get it
right the first time.
- Speed
Of course, in today's fast-paced world, one of the key benefits of
using the Internet is speed. With McQuaig On-Line®, 99% of
our clients receive attached Survey reports (or a link to pick-up) in their inbox in less than
half an hour of the candidate's completing the Survey and hitting
'submit'.
- No more bottlenecks
In the past, you may have encountered slowdowns processing Surveys
if your McQuaig administrator was out of the office or simply swamped
with requests. The McQuaig On-Line® 'User Group' function
hands greater control and accountability to the managers in the field.
- Monitored completion time
We all know that Word Surveys should be completed quickly in one
sitting. With McQuaig On-Line®, candidates are advised that,
although there is no time limit, they will be timed. When you receive
the completed assessment you are told how long it took the candidate to
complete it and in how many sittings.
- User-friendly interface
The McQuaig Institute®
spent thirty-six months developing and fine-tuning the McQuaig On-Line®
interface so that the client and the candidate user interfaces are
simple and straightforward. They even built in an on-line Definitions
Sheet for candidates.
- Cost-effective
Companies can purchase a number of on-line
assessments at a very low per-assessment price and most are choosing to switch over entirely to McQuaig On-Line®.

What is it like for the candidate?
We all know that most candidates are a little nervous when completing
pre-employment assessments, so a great deal of time was spent designing
and testing a candidate interface that is as user-friendly as possible.
- The candidate is emailed a link directly to the McQuaig
On-Line® Survey you have assigned, where they are given thorough and friendly
instructions on how to complete the Survey.
- There is dialogue box that pops up if they fill in a box
incorrectly.
The candidate is informed that, although there is no time limit, the
Survey should be completed quickly and that their time will be recorded.

McQuaig On-Line® has useful features such as:
- Candidates can be compared to a Job Survey

if a candidate does not have Internet access.

the candidate agrees to the use of his/her report information as
specified.
- New system upgrades and reports are available immediately.

discreetly, if required, in order to find out how to supervise and
motivate, to help analyse marked changes in behaviour, or for assistance
in counselling sessions.

help them maximise their strengths and manage their developmental areas
more effectively.
- Reports are available in English or French. On-line forms can be
filled out in English, French, Portuguese or Spanish.
Candidates can easily switch to the language of their choice. And, when
they do, the whole site changes to their preferred language.
Bottom line, this is a cost-effective, efficient way to use our System.
The service is available on The McQuaig Institute® web site,
it is ID and PASSWORD protected.
In summary, there are many ways that McQuaig On-Line® can
make your task of defining jobs and assessing candidates easier.
