| Jose
manages the IT department in a large firm that has been hit hard
by the slow economy. The firm was forced to do some significant
downsizing, so the company’s workforce was cut back to “subsistence
levels.” Recent improvements in the economy have finally
given the company some breathing room, so Jose is looking to fill
two key positions—one for a programmer, and one for the call
center.
If Jose thought he was busy before, the response to his
ad (over 250 resumes total) has him completely overwhelmed. Jose
knows he can’t afford to make a poor hiring decision right
now, and he doesn’t have time to comb through all of those
resumes for employee assessment looking for candidates that are
truly the best qualified.
“The
flood of applications submitted by job seekers is actually causing
problems for those organizations that are not properly equipped
to deal with increased levels of job seeker activity,” according
to Charles Handler, PhD. “This has created a situation
in which many companies are squandering their chance to catch the
best fish in the talent pool because they are not properly equipped
for employee hiring assessment and to identify the most-qualified
applicants.”
Fortunately, Skills
Assessments testing have made the “weeding
out” process much simpler for managers like Jose. Our
company can now offer “skills assessment” testing
for a variety of job positions. Your applicants will spend
a few minutes taking a test that will provide you with a comprehensive
report that will clarify each applicant’s proficiency in
specific skills. Reports document proficiency by skill type,
task type, question level and the time it took the applicant to
answer each question.
Jose could reasonably cut his applicant pool
down to 15 people or less for each position, then invest a few
hours in careful interviewing, and find the individual best suited
for each new job. He’ll
save lots of time, and he’ll sleep easier knowing he’s
making an informed hiring decision.
