Skills Tests

Small Cost for a Large Reward

Aptitude tests do not require a large amount of investment; for the cost of around 0.06% of an average salary, you are much more likely to find a new hire who is a good fit for the position – a return on investment that is more than significant.

Filter Unsuitable Applicants

58% of hiring managers have said they have caught out a lie on an applicant’s CV. When recruiting in high volumes, aptitude tests can reduce the amount of work on the part of the hiring manager and the number of face-to-face interviews that will need to be booked, as they will only have to assess candidates who were qualified enough to pass the test.

Save Time

Assessing many candidates’ abilities to perform various disparate aspects of a job role would be an extremely time-consuming process for both candidate and employer if each interview were conducted face-to-face or over the phone. Many of these abilities can be tested through pre-employment skills testing instead, at the candidate’s leisure. This way, you will not waste precious time interviewing candidates who are simply unable to do the job.

Make Decisions Based on Quality

Even the most experienced hiring managers sometimes cannot escape the gut feeling they have about particular candidates, even when simply reading a CV. Unfortunately, in many cases, this inclination can lead to the elimination of a candidate who is qualified for the job and would have made an excellent fit. Skills assessments allow hiring managers to avoid unconscious bias in the hiring process and focus on what matters – what a potential employee can bring to the table.

Most of the time, recruitment is costly, and most companies underestimate its expense by 90-95%. Skills assessments will allow you to streamline the lengthy, often painstaking process of recruitment.
