Pre-employment testing is a powerful tool for making hiring effective. It can be a strong means for assessing the potential hire’s abilities and suitability for the position. These are a set of a tests that aim to help the hiring organization test the talent and the capability a potential hire brings. Pre-employment testing seeks to test the various faculties that the employee would be required to put to use at work, such as memory, cognitive ability, motor and physical abilities, communication skills, emotional intelligence, and many other related ones.
When applied rightly, pre-employment testing can perform near miracles into the hiring process. It can help to narrow the divergences in the accuracy of hiring decisions. It can unimaginably enhance the hiring process, bringing down the time to recruit.
However, the catch is that pre-employment testing has to be applied in the right manner. Or else, it may not only be ineffective; it can boomerang on the organization. When its parameters for evaluating the strength of the candidate are not chosen rightly, preemployment testing has the potential to backfire and get a strong negative reaction from the applicants who failed to make it because of this test.
Because of these reasons, pre-employment testing evokes a mixed reaction from the HR community, which is wary of applying preemployment test as a means of candidate selection. It is to help get the best out of the process of pre-employment testing that this webinar is being organized.
At this session, Harold will offer practical guidance on how to add pre-employment testing to the assessments toolkit. This learning helps the hiring organization to arrive at hiring decisions that are more accurate and informed, and minimizes the potential negative outcomes.
Professionals whose work is connected to hiring in one or another manner will gain immense benefits from this webinar. These include HR Generalists, HR Managers, Line, Managers Involved in Hiring, Attorneys and Business Owners.
