We live in an ever evolving world. Long gone are the days of placing an ad for a job in a newspaper or even posting flyers. Today, millions of people are able to send their resumes all over the world with the click of a button.
With this change has come an abundance of information. Millions of resumes are sent out everyday. A typical employer can receive up to 300 applications and resumes in one day. Some say they receive thousands! Imagine, going through every resume that lands on your desk and then to top it off, having to find the right match for your company based on a sheet of paper. That is
no longer an effective strategy.
While many large companies now have their own designated internal hiring staff, many businesses still rely on outside recruiters hoping they will bring them the best of the best. A typical recruiting agency will find employees that have had jobs in similar fields and meet any other standards the employer may set. But what about basic cognitive abilities? Math skills? Even reading and writing?
Pre-employment tests can help eliminate the chance that you will hire someone who does not have the right personality or the core skills to be a member of your team. It is also a great way to learn more about your candidate. While their resume may say they are a tech guru, that does not necessarily mean they can work with a group of people, which may be exactly what the job you need to fill requires.
Pre-employment testing is helping niche agencies such as ours find employees for your business while saving you the daunting stress of filtering through hundreds of resumes. Using testing combined with a hands on approach is the most effective way to eliminate your hiring stress.
