An introduction to Hudson's IKM technical testing offering

1. TECHNICAL
TESTING
EVALUATING CANDIDATES’
SKILLS

2. Recruiting people with the right technical skills and knowledge to
undertake key business deliverables can be critical to your competitive
capabilities. But how can you ensure your recruitment process is giving
you the best chance of finding the right candidates for the job?
Technical testing helps to identify the right candidates
by determining their existing technical knowledge
and abilities. Used alongside or prior to interviewing
candidates, it will substantiate and confirm their skill levels
enabling you to evaluate candidates based on reliable and
validated information.
Certainly, asking the appropriate technical questions
is essential, but a technical test will give you a true
benchmark of candidates’ skills.
A BETTER INFORMED HIRING
DECISION
OBJECTIVELY MEASURE A
CANDIDATE’S SUITABILITY
Hudson can provide a range of technical assessments
which cover Programming, Development, Administration
and Technical Support of applications, languages,
databases and operating systems.
These complimentary assessments can be delivered
remotely as self administered tests, or can be delivered
online in a supervised environment administered by
Hudson.
The resulting report will provide insight into candidates’
strengths, proficiencies and weaknesses, detailing level
of knowledge across specific subject areas, work speed
in comparison to others, and how well the test taker can
apply their knowledge.
Technical testing will provide more information on a
candidate than a standard interview alone and will
also enable you to assess and plan around potential
development areas for a candidate before they join the
business.
As well as reducing time spent on inappropriate
candidates, it can also quicken the evaluation process.
For temporary positions, tests provide quick and easy
screening of candidates. For permanent roles, testing
will help to ensure time and money are not wasted on a
candidate with a different level of skill to that which is
required.
Enhancing the screening and selection process will instil
greater confidence, and offers added value to the service
we provide to you and ultimately guide you in making a
better informed decision.

3. The question and difficulty level is dynamically selected based on the assessment-taker’s previous responses,
eliminating questions that are too easy or difficult.
Both questions and answers are weighted and scored based on difficulty, importance and accuracy.
The resulting report will form a proficiency profile of the candidate, which includes necessary knowledge,
understanding, practical experience, work speed, and strengths and weaknesses within the discipline.
