Talent Acquisition Technology Roundup: Assessment Tools

Jul 12, 2019Hiring Resources

Now more than ever, hiring managers are increasingly under pressure to minimize fill time and improve quality and retention.   This may account for the explosive popularity of assessment tools over the past decade.  These tools can help qualify candidates, even before the interview, and can help gauge an applicant’s skills, behavioral traits and knowledge for a particular role.

Last week, our partner Talent Tech Labs released their latest Provider Insight Report, highlighting assessment tools. The report contains an in depth look at these technologies, including use case, where they fit in to your hiring process as well as common challenges and solutions.

TTL segments these tools in to two categories; skills assessments and behavioral assessments and showcases the solution providers in their TA Ecosystem.   Behavioral assessments uncover the needs, strengths and drives of a candidate and can help determine suitability for culture fit as well as future performance.  Skills assessments provide an accurate and unbiased measurement of existing ability and knowledge for a specific role.  Whether used separately or together, assessments provide critical insight and can help facilitate and improve the hiring process.

If you are considering using assessment tools in your organization, check out TTL’s Provider Insight Report which also features an overview and case studies for Vervoe, a skills assessment platform that uses machine learning and customizable content.
