Aon, a provider of pre-hire talent assessments, is now part of the American Short Line and Regional Railroad Association’s (ASLRRA) Member Discount Program.
The Association, on April 2, announced the selection of Aon as its newest preferred provider that offers “the most accurate and fair pre-hire talent assessments at scale” and has assessed more than 1 million candidates for North American railroads over the past decade. This follows the addition of Wi-Tronix to the Member Discount Program late last month.
According to ASLRRA, frontline roles for which Aon has developed and implemented talent assessment solutions include conductors, train dispatchers, engineering and mechanical positions, and clerical and customer service roles.
Aside from the delivery of talent assessments and candidate scores and reporting, ASLRRA said that Aon will also offer ASLRRA members such services as “job analysis, test development, predictive analytics/validation, implementation, continuous improvement on assessment performance, and analytics to evaluate return on investment.”
Association members will have access to discount pricing from Aon and service from Aon’s Talent Assessment team.
“Adopting proven candidate screening procedures that measure the critical skills needed for safety and success on the job will help our members select and retain the best candidates,” ASLRRA President Chuck Baker said during the announcement. “Great hires contribute to short lines’ ability to provide safe, flexible operations, and the excellent customer service we are known for. We are pleased to have Aon join our Member Discount Program as the preferred provider of pre-hire talent assessments.”
“For more than 25 years we have brought innovative and successful assessment solutions to the rail industry, resulting in better candidate selection decisions and positive business impact,” noted Michael DeNunzio, Transportation and Mobility Sector Lead for Aon’s Talent Assessment team. “We look forward to assisting ASLRRA members in developing an assessment process that achieves their hiring and retention goals.”
