Aldie, VA – October 30, 2023 – HR Avatar has added a new resilience scale to its pre-employment personality assessments.

In today’s fast-changing, uber-competitive environment, resilient workers are essential for long-term organizational success. That’s because resilient employees stay focused and manage their stress during times of change, making them more likely to overcome challenges.

To enable companies to identify candidates who possess this critical quality, HR Avatar has developed a new Resilience scale and embedded it in all of its off-the-shelf pre-hire employment assessments. Resilience is also embedded into the company’s industry-leading swipe-based personality tests.

High scores on the new Resilience scale indicate a person will likely be able to navigate difficult situations, perceive they have control over events that happen, and continue moving forward. Low scores indicate a person who might feel mistakes and failures were out of their control and who might give up on difficult challenges more easily.

“Our new resilience scale demonstrates our commitment to helping companies build high-performing teams that can thrive in today’s business environment,” says Mike Russiello, President and CEO of HR Avatar. “Companies absolutely need employees who will overcome obstacles and keep pressing ahead no matter what.”
