Talent acquisition process: picking the best at the very beginning

Illustration

Better talent strategies can help reduce employee turnover. Talent acquisition software will assist you in identifying job competencies. And it is precisely the identification of specific job competencies that is so essential for successful performance. Even after long and painstaking efforts to define critical skills for a specific position, some can still be overlooked.

Assessment companies that possess data for thousands of job families and competencies can inform you with a higher degree of certainty which particular skill sets are the best predictors of success in specific roles. This is the view of the business2community.com website.

Talent assessments can make your selection process legally sound

At some point your hiring process might be challenged on legal grounds. However, predictive assessments relying on objective data will guide your talent selection process without problems: if your assessment process is well designed and job profiles are built to certain specifications, you can be certain of always complying with regulations. Even though there isn’t much job-related litigation in the Czech Republic, if your activities extend across borders this could become a factor.

Pre-hire assessments shorten the hiring process

The hiring process often takes longer than it needs to. In some companies, applicants must undergo a five-hour process before a decision is made. That is bad for the candidate and it also creates extra work for the recruiters. Assessment can be placed anywhere in the overall hiring process but its deployment is recommended immediately after the application. This allows you to use the assessment for what it does best: identify outstanding candidates.

Let the recruiting team spend time where it’s best suited: working with a smaller pool of applicants who have already been identified as high potentials. There will then be enough time for conversations that need not be rushed.
