Question:

How to handle an evaluation and report for an applicant who started working before their psychological.

Handling the Evaluation and Report:

Applicant’s Start Date and Report Adjustment: The Evaluator noted that the applicant began working 1.5 weeks before her interview, which was not explicitly mentioned in her report. The Lead Psychologist suggests that since the applicant has only been working for a short period (a week or two), the evaluation can still be considered a Pre-Employment Psychological Evaluation (PEP). The evaluation must be switched to an Existing Employee report if the applicant has been working for a month or more.

Red Flags and Final Recommendation: The Evaluator highlighted significant red flags in the applicant's personality, history, test results, and interview interactions, recommending "Not Suitable" (NS) for the armed animal control position. Despite these red flags, the lead psychologist sees no need for changes to the report and advises letting the hiring agency decide how to handle the situation.
