STRADA - THE WORLD'S NEWEST BUS OPERATOR SELECTION TOOLKIT

STRADA is a new bus driver screening and selection tool that has significantly improved the suitability of candidates, streamlined the recruitment process and reduced training attrition at Canadian public transport systems. STRADA consists of a six-step process to identify the best-fit for the position of bus driver. The core of the program is an online psychometric evaluation test based on 25 years of research in 42 countries and 16 languages. The test identifies a candidate’s strengths and weaknesses in areas such as attendance, ability to relate to management, independence, problem solving, concern for safety, customer service, and many others. STRADA’s suite of assessments provide an holistic picture of a candidate to assist in making the right hiring decision, saving public transport systems money and time by reducing issues with employees. This presentation offers an overview of the product development, how the four issues are addressed, the six competencies that make up the test, as well as explaining how results are tabulated and individual reports and interview frameworks and produced
