Pre-Placement/Post-Offer Evaluation: Employer's Quick Guide
Everything employers need to know about Post-Offer Evaluation — who needs it, what's included, and how to find a provider through BlueHive.
What Is Post-Offer Evaluation?
A bad hire into a physically demanding role means re-injury risk, accommodation disputes, and workers' comp claims before day 90. BlueHive post-offer evaluations match candidate capabilities to real job demands — ADA-compliant, defensible, and completed within 48 hours of request.
Pre-Placement or Post-Offer Evaluations are conducted after a conditional job offer has been made, assessing whether a candidate can safely perform the essential functions of the job with or without reasonable accommodation. This evaluation helps ensure job fitness while complying with ADA requirements.
