Workkeys

Phillips Staffing has been a leader and innovator in the staffing, recruiting, and personnel industries since 1968.

In 2010, we continue that tradition by becoming an authorized WorkKeys Job Profiler. Josh Newton, is now our fully authorized Job Profiler, having received accreditation from the Workkeys ACT training program. This service allows us to show you the tools your organization needs to lower employee turnover and your annual training costs. No longer will your company have to settle for mediocrity when it comes to your employees.

WorkKeys is a foundational skills assessment system, designed to pinpoint the critical needs and requirements for your company’s jobs, which will assist you in hiring future incumbents for the profiled position. These new incumbents will be able to perform the requirements of the profiled position more efficiently. You may ask, “What will these employees have to do in order for your organization to benefit from the job profile findings?” They will need to take the WorkKeys test. Their test results will be compared to the required levels decided on during the profile. These tests can be taken at local Technical Schools and at your local OneStop locations.
