Unbelievably, it is Thanksgiving time already. Some colleagues are already gone, headed off in various directions to gather with family and friends, eat too much good food, and watch too much football. Personally, I feel as if I just carved my pumpkin. And I still have Halloween candy. Admittedly, it’s that junky candy that always lingers too long because no one likes it. But still. How can it be Thanksgiving tomorrow?
Journey or Destination? Looking Behind Pre-Employment Testing Results
We’ve all seen those math questions that include the words “Explain how…” and “Show your work”. And you know a lot of students are sitting at their desks thinking, “I’m in a math class, why am I writing an essay?!”
Finally! Online Pre-Employment Testing for SMB’s
Do you know how much it’s costing you to identify, screen, hire, and train new employees? We mean really know how much this is costing you? According to recent findings by the Institute for Research on Labor and Employment.: Replacing a single employee can cost between $2000 and $7000 – or more! Some estimates for upper-level positions put the figure at 100-150% of the position’s salary. What happens if that employee doesn’t work out and leaves your organization after only a short time? You’re right back in the vicious, expensive hiring cycle.
Every organization is looking for ways to identify top candidates who know their stuff and can be up to speed on job tasks quickly. But most online employment assessment services are geared for large corporations, with high rates, longterm commitments, and tests that are irrelevant to the needs of small and medium-sized businesses. We found the same thing again and again as we tried to improve our hiring process over the last several years. We just wanted relevant, reliable pre-employment tests that we could quickly and easily manage online.
