So far this year, America is sitting at a low 5.9% rate for unemployment. The economy is in an upswing, and technology guides many of our day to day decisions; it also guides future hires. What does this mean for you and your business? It means that hiring strategies have changed and the control is now in the hands of potential candidates.

Now that candidates are in control of their future, pre-employment testing is more important than ever. When several hundred applications are submitted for a single job opportunity, it can become overwhelming for the employer. How do you determine whether a candidate is a good fit based on a piece of paper that simply outlines job history? You can’t make that determination. Pre-employment testing helps employers understand an applicant’s cognitive ability, motor and physical abilities, personality, interests, even levels of achievement. These are qualities you can’t find on a resume or cover letter.

Proper use of personality testing can help you make a more informed hiring decision. Using only test scores to weigh the right candidates can be an accurate way to find the best employee; taking advantage of everything the tests have to offer can give you the upper hand when looking for an employee that can work well within your business. Using pre-employment testing can reduce turnover rate, which in turn saves your business thousands of dollars.

The hiring process can be daunting and expensive. The amount of money spent on advertising the position, the money spent to cover another employee while they train your new hire, and the amount of money spent on a new hire that could fail you can add up quickly. Pre-employment testing can give you the upper hand and help you make decisions that can save your business or company a great amount of money.
