Now what? Efficiently identifying candidates that are qualified is challenging. What candidates showcase on their LinkedIn profile isn\u2019t always an accurate representation of their true capabilities. Interviewing each candidate has a high time and monetary cost. <\/span><strong>This is where pre-hire assessments come in.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recruitment agencies leverage pre-hire assessments to identify the best candidates for their high-volume, high-turnover jobs. Need to identify a qualified customer service representative? There\u2019s an assessment for that. Need to identify the right warehouse employee? There\u2019s an assessment for that.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recruitment agencies utilise these assessments to further enhance efficiency and success of placement fulfillment. We\u2019ll discuss how to select and implement the right assessments for your recruiting needs, enhancing your placement success.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>What Are Pre-Hire Assessments?<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pre-hire assessments take the guesswork out of placement and minimise hours spent on each requisition. Assessments are short tests created to measure specific job-related qualifications. By measuring core qualifications prior to employment, recruiters are able to quantify what a candidate knows and doesn\u2019t know. These scores can then be used to inform placement. Essentially, these assessments separate the true contenders from those less fit for the job.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Qualifications Measured by Pre-Hire Assessments<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pre-hire assessments can take numerous forms. They often measure one of four different qualification categories:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Knowledge\/skills<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Culture fit<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cognitive ability<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Behavioral styles<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This breadth of topics allows recruiters to identify the best assessments for each job, from general Excel knowledge to industrial forklift knowledge and skills. Using pre-hire assessments enables you to find the right candidates efficiently and effectively with painless implementation.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Effective Implementation of Pre-Hire Assessments<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With a plethora of assessment options and providers in today\u2019s market, it can be easy to get overwhelmed when it comes to selecting the best, most appropriate assessments for an open requisition. First, understand what is important for success in the role by reviewing job materials such as the job descriptions provided by the employer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, if you\u2019re hiring for an accounting position, advanced proficiency with Excel may be listed as a required software skill. Implementing at least a basic Excel assessment, such as those provided by Symphony Talent, may measure a core qualification. Continue reviewing the material you\u2019re provided, and make sure that you document all of your observations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Review these observations and identify assessments you think the best measure these core job qualifications, such as behavioral, cognitive, or skills assessments. Feel free to select more than one assessment, but try to keep the total testing time for each candidate under an hour for one requisition. You want to make sure that each candidate doesn\u2019t become fatigued and continues to have a good experience with the selection process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you\u2019ve selected a couple of assessments, make sure that you implement these consistently across all candidates being considered for the same requisition. When making your final recommendation, only consider their scores on the assessments you identified as important and not others they may have also taken for other opportunities. Keep in mind, the assessments are measuring a piece of the candidate\u2019s qualifications, so their results should be taken into consideration in conjunction with other pertinent material (e.g., prior experience).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that you\u2019ve implemented the assessments, what\u2019s next? Sift through the scores of each candidate being considered for a requisition. Consider all information available, in addition to their scores on the assessments. Take note of each of the job-relevant qualifications the candidate has demonstrated, whether through behavioral, skills, or cognitive assessments. Use these results to inform your approach to the in-person interview or other screening processes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Outcomes of Using Pre-Hire Assessments<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once complete, you\u2019re ready to make final selections for filling a requisition. Leveraging these data points helps you make a better decision. You\u2019ll have a greater likelihood of filling the requisition with one of your recommended candidates. Additionally, you\u2019ll be more likely to have your prescribed candidate stay at the job once hired and perform well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Summary<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Filling requisitions with the right candidates can be challenging in today&#8217;s tight labor market. Leveraging pre-hire assessments in your process to gain insight into a candidate&#8217;s qualifications and fit with your role(s) simplifies the process and informs the interview and other processes. Taken together, these results inform the final decision, empowering you to recommend the best candidates for each requisition without any guesswork.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em>Learn more
