Jason Weiss works with Joe Bunta and they have an interesting company that assists in evaluating people for construction positions by utilizing half and full day simulations. They actually take a candidate and put them through real job-like scenarios that could be encountered in stressful work situations.  Granted you may not be in a position to spend a few thousand dollars to screen a candidate before hiring. What is interesting is that the construction industry is attracting this type of HR attention.
