The Veris Trust Profiler^™ is a comprehensive pre-employment test that identifies candidates who work hard, abide by regulations, and in general show more productive, high-integrity behavior. Applicants take about 11-14 minutes to answer the 129 multiple choice questions, and score results produced “Trust Scores” are displayed on the Veris Trust Index^™. These scores are available to the hiring authority immediately. Along with other applicant information, employers use the Veris Trust Profiler^™ results to help guide hiring decisions. Simply, the higher the Trust Profiler score, the more confident can be the judgment of applicants’ trustworthiness. As a workforce is populated with Trust Profiler-passers, employers can offer their consumers the confidence and security of knowing that their people comply with regulations and keep in mind the best interests of their clients.

The Science

The Veris Trust Profiler^™ is a validated measure of the personal traits that underlie high integrity behavior in positions of trust. It has been developed by experienced industrial psychologists using standard professional research methods. The Index items ask about people’s thoughts, feelings, behaviors, attitudes, opinions, rationalizations, objectives, and sources of gratification in their everyday lives. The items are easy to understand and answer, and do not raise defensiveness or objections. Answers to the Trust Profiler questions reveal the propensity to skirt the law, stretch the truth, bend the rules, make exceptions, break promises, tell fibs, manipulate others, fall out of compliance, and outright steal. Employees who commit fraud fall prey to these thought patterns and justifications to guide their actions, and receive significantly lower scores on the Index.
