Implementing Ultimate Technical Hiring Solutions:
Today, every company is a software company in some way or the other. Developers are the ones who are often tasked with pushing the envelope, helping you simulate, iterate and innovate faster than ever.
Regardless of the industry your company is in or its size, hiring talented developers is critical for business to thrive. They are also in high demand, and not easily wooed by free passes or weekend retreats.
Best tech hires are critical resources at work and do not have time, energy or flexibility to take a day’s leave and travel for an interview.
They expect their prospective employers to understand that and pro-actively provide them convenience and flexibility. Written test in person reduces the candidate reach again leading to missing out good candidates, as you will be restricted by geography.
A plain vanilla test is not be the best case to assess a developer’s skills, you should rather employ a code test that’s concurrent with real-life code complexity.
Just technical skill evaluation does not give a full picture of the candidate even for the purpose of screening, one needs to do all round evaluation on motivation, cultural fit and suitability using tools like video interview.

Simplifying Campus Recruitment with Online Interviews
As employers recruiting on campus, you have a lot to work on; class schedules and part-time jobs, not to mention other employers competing for the same talent. However campus hiring teams are still very conventional and even today use pen and paper tests for the initial screening.
The recruitment teams often visits the campuses or participate in career fairs, conduct paper and pen assessments for the initial screening and then spend hardly 10 minutes per candidate for face to face interview. While a lot of time goes into travel, logistics and paperwork in this conventional process there is very little time spent in evaluation of the candidate.
In addition many of the students are employed either on- or off-campus or taking additional courses. This means that some students are working and studying for at least the equivalent number of hours of a full-time job, and therefore fewer students will be available to attend every career fair, information session and recruiting event on-campus.
Instead, they’ll likely take their job search online when they have time around their work and studies.
