Nearly 70 years ago, in 1950, Alan Turing made a prediction that probably made very little sense at the time. Turing envisioned that by the turn of the century, computers would easily pass as a human during a text conversation. With the invention of chatbots, Alan Turing’s prediction has been deemed successful. Chatbots have successfully taken several online conversations and made hard for us to differentiate between a chatbot and a human.
Assessments are an essential part of the recruiting process and are sandwiched between the initial screening process and the final interview. Assessments provide concrete, objective results, unlike resumes and interviews, that are subjective and can be fudged. A well-designed assessment can be standardized for all applicants, and the results of the tests can be used to make a more informed decision when hiring the right candidate. Objective and validated metrics prove whether a particular candidate has the knowledge, skills, and ability to perform a specific job or not. The right assessments can lead to higher productivity and results, a more efficient hiring process, reduction in costs associated with turnover, and increased defensibility of the hiring process through the use of an online platform. This is why having online assessment tests for recruitment is efficient and essential.
