Why are Skill Assessments important?

Knowing the cognitive abilities (hard skills) and non-cognitive abilities (soft skills) will enable the recruiter to gain a complete all-round picture of the candidate. It is therefore vital to assess these abilities/skills during the recruitment process to predict the candidate’s success in the job role.

Cognitive aptitude (also called general intelligence), is the single most accurate predictor of job performance.

Research shows that cognitive aptitude tests are twice as predictive as job interviews, three times as predictive as experience, and four times as predictive as education level.

Predictive validity

EasyTalent can be used to create skill tests to assess for qualities that are critical to almost all mid- and higher-level jobs, including - problem-solving, critical thinking, attention to detail, ability to learn, and apply new information at work. Candidates who score well on employment skill tests are more likely to successfully complete training, be better equipped to adapt to your organization’s culture, evolve and learn new skills, and be better performers

EasyTalent can be used to assess job specific skills of candidates before interview. It will help you to measure the applicant’s knowledge, technical skills, cognitive ability, behavioral traits and language proficiency required for a particular job role.
