  • These days, most applicant and employee assessments are touchless and computer-based. However, there are times when humans should be involved in the assessment process, and it is best when they are assessment experts. This is where we can step in and help you assess the quality of your final candidates.

    Our standard human-based assessments use short role-play exercises with human assessors. We can help you see how your candidates will really behave in tricky workplace situations using our exercises.

  • We can work with you to help change your approach to hiring from one that focuses on education degrees to a future that emphasizes the skills of your job applicants. This change will bring in hiring managers to ensure that they understand the rigor and validity that your new skills-first approach will use.

  • Deciding which test or assessment to use can be challenging. This is often the case as you talk with salespeople from different testing companies who make all of their tests sound like the best one.

    We can go with you through this process and help you make the best decision on which assessment to use. And, we can help you negotiate the best terms and price when it comes to contracting.

  • We will review and audit your current tests and assessments for quality, validity, and legal compliance. The assessment review and audit report will be straightforward but helpful to your hiring processes. Note that this typically involves working through your legal team.

  • At times, there are crucial knowledge or skill areas that are not covered by the existing tests that are provided by test providers. In these cases, developing a new test or assessment is required, and we can support you every step of the way. In this process, we can ensure that your new test is “job content valid.”

  • Your applicant and employee tests should always be developed well. However, there are several situations where additional evidence of test quality and job relevance is needed. We will guide you on the methods of validation and provide the right level of documentation to comply with current laws and regulations.

  • Final hiring decisions can be difficult. In particular, they can be hard when multiple final candidates seem equally qualified. We will walk you through the decision-making process to help clarify the situation and find the best candidate for your organization. Whether or not you use our human-based assessment, we can work with you to make the best hire and ensure that you have good reason for making this choice.

  • Mark is available to speak to groups about skills-first hiring and assessments. This can be with virtual or in-person groups.
