33. Tips
for Success

34. Success Tip # 1
Create Alignment
Its important to create alignment with your job seekers. This starts with
the job description. Make sure they include your required skills and
experience.

35. Success Tip # 2
Layer Screening Technology
Its important to layer your screening initiatives. Basic screening should
be performed directly through your applicant tracking system as part of
the initial apply process. This will allow you to screen out unqualified
candidates before performing more advanced assessments on a
smaller population of candidates
.

36. Success Tip # 3
Don’t Over Automate
While screening automation can increase recruiter efficiency , its
important that’s we don’t over automate the process and loose the
human touch. No candidate wants to feel like they were disqualified
automatically, be sure to personalize your communication.
.

37. Success Tip # 4
Education is key
Most hiring managers don't know how to hire. Educate managers and
interview team members . Work with managers up front in the process
to help define the requirements and biter understand the overall hiring
process.

38. Success Tip # 5
Eliminate Guesswork
Assessments provide “Behavioral Insights” to remove speculation, and
predict performance, based on what that person has done (skills), what that
person can and will do (personality), and what that person wants to do (fit).

39. Success Tip # 6
Ready When You Are
An expansive portfolio of tailor-made and ready-to-use career
assessments to assess individuals, managers and leaders for both pre
and post-hire needs.

40. Success Tip # 7
Assessments, what they do!
• Support the decision-making process
• Uses standardized process to gain insight into applicant
• Qualities not always apparent (personality, motivation, abilities, etc.)
• Screen out applicants and help focus on those with most potential
• Provide direct ROI relative to valued outcomes
• Provides baseline understanding to feed post-hire development
