STRADA Transit Operator Recruitment Tool

Hiring the right people is absolutely essential for the long-term success of an organization. It is irrelevant how good the services offered by an organization are - long-term they will not be effectively delivered if a company does not have highly skilled, energized people in the right positions. In addition, the cost of hiring the wrong person can be one of the most expensive decisions made in an organization. Although many companies acknowledge the importance of finding and selecting the right people, they often set themselves up for failure by not having good hiring practices in place. General research shows that two thirds of hiring decisions are ineffective in that the newly hired employees are not fully capable or sufficiently motivated to do the job they are hired to do. We then expect their bosses to manage these employees to make them "productive", when hiring the right person in the first place would be the solution to all of these productivity problems.

CUTA partnered with an innovative software and consulting firm to develop a research validated recruitment assessment survey specifically for the position of bus operator.

The STRADA Recruitment Toolkit, based on the above essentials, is the latest CUTA Education and Training Program. Initiated by the industry, for the industry and built by the industry, STRADA is a reliable, integrated hiring solution designed to increase the probability of selecting the best candidates for the position of bus operator, to reduce staff time in the recruitment process and to reduce costs associated with recruitment as well as budget lost through training unsuccessful candidates.

The STRADA Toolkit consists of the following elements:

  1. A 6 step Recruitment Process from Recruitment Messaging to Hiring Protocol
  2. A Validated Assessment Survey & Reports Customized for Bus Operators - interview probes are provided for each area of potential concern identified from the personality assessment
