LVA-i HR integrity assessment systems

Fair integrity assessment for your human resources needs

LVA-i is an interactive evaluation platform using Nemesysco’s LVA7 technology for voice analysis, designed to

assist management with their decision making process by providing accurate, unbiased and readily available

information. LVA-i measures the emotional content and the “integrity risk” potential of a person being tested

in various topics, allowing the tested parties to express themselves freely in a natural speaking form and in the

language they are most comfortable with. The system supports both fully automated computerized testing, as

well as operator assisted over-the-phone examination of remote parties using scripted protocols.

The LVA-i test report includes

a clear and easy to understand

Integrity Risk score for each of

the tested topics, with additional

values and warnings that can be

used as supportive indications for

the eventual follow-up interviews.

Made to fit all sizes LVA-i is a scalable system available

i n d i f f e r e n t c o n f i g u r a t i o n s ,

designed to support any size and

type of organization, from SMB’s to

multi-national scale networks, from

special units to armed forces and

police recruitment, from a stand-

alone unit to multi-sites server

based solutions.

LVA-i is not a

“Lie-Detector”

• Private businesses, network chains, medium size organizations

• Banks, insurance companies and call centers

• Army, police and special units recruitment

• Guards and private security firms

• Government and recruiting agencies

LVA-i uses a structured

questioning methodology and

analyzes free speech answers

(Not “Yes/No”) to generate an

overall Risk Report per tested

topic, based on plurality of

repeating indications identified

in the relevant questions. This

analysis model ensures highly

accurate information to be used

2 in the follow-up interview.

LVA-i tests modes & scripts

LVA-i can perform a test in

two modes of operation:

• In the Automated Test mode the candidate is seated in a quiet room

in front of the LVA-i computer terminal. Using the screen and the LVA-i

phone-like handset, the system will present the selected questionnaire,

automatically advancing to the next question once a proper voice

response was recorded.

• In the Telephone Test mode an operator will assist the test procedure

with a remote party, reading the script’s questions from his screen.

Automated Test mode Telephone Test mode

The LVA-i package contains several standard employment scripts for both

the phone and the automated modes. These scripts contain questions in

the classical and most relevant topics (theft, drug abuse, etc.). Custom

made scripts can be created as needed.

The LVA-i test report is automatically generated using the analysis of the

subject’s responses to the scripted questions in the different topics.

What is an Integrity

Test? Integrity tests attempt to measure

the potential and personal

acceptance of undesired or

unlawful behaviors. LVA-i’s Integrity Risk result reflects the probable

risk of the tested party acting in

a manner that might expose your

organization to danger.

Use LVA-i for: • Pre-employment screening

• Periodical veracity tests and

“Honesty maintenance”

• Special event tests in the

organization (Theft, Confidential

information leakage, etc…)

• Security clearance

• Employees satisfaction surveys

LVA-i integrates unique voice

analysis technology with carefully

designed sets of investigative

questions to identify repeating

emotional indications surrounding

relevant questions to produce

its assessment. The system’s

standard questionnaires are

specifically designed to scan the

candidates’ personal history, test

the consistency of their opinions at

present and determine the level of

their commitment to the future.

The Automated Test Mode

LVA-i automated questionnaires are

based on Adobe Flash™ technology,

providing flexible, rich multi-media

presentation and advanced options

increationofuniquequestionnaires.

Each questionnaire is divided into

different topics, each containing

a number of questions covering a

specific issue. The questions are

presented to the candidates both

textually and vocally one after the

other.

The standard tests contain the

following topics:

Conducting an automated test -

step by step

Preparing the applicant for the test Before any test procedure, it is

important the tested party receives full instructions about the test

procedures and objectives. Test candidates are provided with a “consent form” explaining the topics and nature of questions to be asked, and allow

the candidate to ask any clarification questions or even quit.

Step 1: The LVA-i operator ensures that the testing room is clean and

quiet, and initiates the test from the management panel. The operator

fills in the candidate’s details and selects the relevant test questionnaire.

A click on the “Start Test” button loads the testing interface and locks the

management panel.

• Confidentiality and Secrecy

• Theft from Place of Employment

• Credibility and Criminal

Tendencies

• Bribery and Kickbacks

• Fraud and Deceit

• Drug Usage

• Alcohol Usage

• Gambling

Step 2: The candidate enters the examination room and sits in front of the

LVA-i monitor. The operator explains the test procedure and leaves the

room, allowing the candidate to complete the test in privacy.

Step 3: The candidate selects the test language from the available set and

confirm his personal details. As the test progresses, the candidate has to

answer a series of questions, one after the other.

Step 4: Once the test has been completed, the candidate leaves the room

and the LVA-i returns to standby mode. At this time, the HR Manager can

4 log in and review the test report in preparation for a follow-up interview. No further operation or analysis is required from the manager.

LVA-i Phone Test mode

Specially designed questionnaires for telephone interviews are also included with the LVA-i software. Unlike

the automatic questionnaire, this questionnaire is designed in a form of conversation script where the operator

reads through the pre-scripted questions one after the other, leading the candidate throughout the entire test

procedure.

Step 1: The operator ensures the candidate on the other

end of the line is in a quiet location and understands the

nature of the test.

Step 2: The operator fills in the candidate’s details and

selects the test to be performed.

Step 3: LVA-i opens the “Conversation Management”

screen and loads the selected script. The operator

reads through the script as it appears on his screen,

one question after the other. The system monitors the

conversation and analyzes the candidate’s answers.

Step 4: Once the test has been completed, the LVA-i

report is created and added to the database. No further 5 operation or analysis is required from the manager.

LVA-i Reports and Management System

Selecting a case file from the different database views opens the relevant LVA-i report. The analyses records use

a risk scoring and color codes for easy review of the results:

Test results LVA-i report screen is made of several tabs, providing different levels of

information.

The General Info tab displays the candidates’ details and a clear color

coded reading of the topics’ risk analysis results. In addition, the main

tab displays the operator’s assessment (if applicable) and a highlighted

“Warnings Log”.

The risk analysis results are based on the specific script topics, summarizing

the analysis indications from all the specific topic’s questions. The 5 risk

level indications range from low (a single green block) to high risk (5 red

blocks).

The Details tab This screen provides the user with a deeper analysis of the test results,

divided into the topics and questions. Use this screen to further examine

“High Risk” answers, and cross references in topics that may reveal

additional information.

Final reports tab Following review, managers can add their comments and observations to be included in the test file and printed reports.

Playback (optional) Where applicable by law, LVA-i allows you to record the whole test. When selecting a specific answer or segment the player will play the relevant

section, and will show the selected portion location on the bar below the

slider.
