Pre-Employment Functional Assessments

Pre-employment functional capacity assessments are undertaken to measure the candidate’s capacity against the physical demands of a job. The assessment can be conducted independently or in tandem with pre-employment medical assessments.

Safely match your candidates to your job

To help you understand the functional capacity of your candidate, we use state-of-the-art functional testing equipment known as BTE-ER. This assessment equipment offers numerous applications, versatility and computerised integration providing unparalleled assessment capabilities.

We can perform functional capacity assessments measuring:

• a person’s carrying, lifting and work demand capacities,
• static strength of any body part, and
• full body range of motion.

Tailored to you

CHG’s pre-employment functional assessment can be conducted at any of our three clinics – Mile End, Gillman and Elizabeth Vale.

Each pre-employment functional assessment is tailored to the specific physical demands of the job you are recruiting for. A detailed job analysis is undertaken by CHG to ensure we understand the work requirements to accurately test a candidate’s suitability.

The types of assessment we use depend on your requirements. Following the job analysis, our team will recommend the best option for you, usually:

• Clinical assessment – 30 minutes
• Functional capacity evaluation – 45 minutes
• Long functional capacity evaluation – 60 minutes
