FREMONT, CA: Recruitment is one of the most significant functions of any company. But it can become a tedious process if not conducted appropriately. Online assessment tools have helped these processes gain traction in recruitment, particularly in the past few years. Online pre-employment assessments ease the recruitment process. Today, AI in recruitment is truly digitising this entire space. Businesses derive a wide range of benefits from using online assessment tools for recruitment.
Speed Up the Recruitment Process
Speeding up the recruitment process is one of the primary advantages of online assessment tools. It takes a recruiter a few minutes to read a candidate’s CV. Traditional processes set up a time for each candidate’s telephonic screening, putting brakes on recruitment. Using an online pre-employment assessment allows recruiters to offer features like single-click invitations to test takers. Automatic emails and reminders eliminate recruiters’ need to follow up with test-takers.
Additionally, most assessment tests include auto evaluation, enabling recruiters to automate the repetitive tasks and concentrate on more strategic aspects of the tasks. Therefore, online assessment platforms assist in accelerating the overall recruitment process.
Quality Hiring
Online assessment tools are pre-built with validated pre-employment tests. The tests are designed scientifically to measure candidates’ skills efficiently. Online tests keenly track the skills required for the job. Candidates passing the tests possess the skills to succeed on the job and are likelier to be top performers.
Scalability
Online assessment tools scale up the recruitment process compared to physical interviews, which limit the number of candidates screened. Physical interviews encounter challenges like a lack of interview slots and physical space for in-person interviews. However, online assessment helps recruiters screen more than 100 applicants every day. These tools avoid recruiter burnout, often caused by being overwhelmed with candidates and lacking resources. Online assessment software utilises creative assessment techniques to screen for a multitude of skills using audio, video, or multiple-choice question types.
Eliminated Bias and Adds Diversity
Online assessment tools eliminate personal biases against candidates and bring everything down to the actual skills. There are many incidents of faking skills on resumes, which mislead recruiters. With online assessments, it is not easy to fake skills and personalities. Job test usage minimises personal biases while hiring, making the recruitment process data-driven. This eventually improves diversity in the workplace.
Reduces Employee Turnover
One of the most common reasons for increased employee turnover is a lack of job satisfaction. Online assessments can solve this issue by ensuring that recruiters hire the best fit for the job. These tests allow recruiters to find the best talent for the job by carefully analysing their details on all fronts. When hired candidates like their role, the likelihood of them leaving the company will be lower.
