Last Updated: October 2015 Merit Contractors Association HR Consultant Directory i

INTRODUCTION

With members regularly inquiring about various human resource issues outside our area of expertise, such as drug testing, immigration issues, or

succession planning, Merit has compiled a directory of consultants, firms, and organizations that specialize in a variety of fields needed by

construction industry professionals.

Merit has engaged in preliminary discussions with all companies present in the directory; note that Merit cannot guarantee this list is complete or

that these firms are the best available for your human resource or financial needs. However, these companies are active within the categories in

which they are listed and act as a good starting point when searching for human resource related solutions not already provided by Merit

Contractors Association.

programs.

Fitness for Work/ Health Testing Consultants

These consultants provide services such as psychological tests for applicant’s knowledge, skills, and personality to accurately determine the candidate’s

qualifications. The consultant company may also use behavioral interviewing to predict a candidates potential for success on the job. Fitness consultants can

also test for physical strength of applicant’s to assist in determining if the candidate can meet the requirements necessary to perform a strenuous job. This

assessment is based on the physical demands of the job they are applying for. Full body assessments are able to discover preexisting injuries and to determine

whether the injury increases the chance of a workplace incident or re-injury to the previously compromised body part.
