HR Recruiter Telecommunications Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Review" March 31, 2020 5.0 So far we like what we have seen and it has helped us select. Unfortunately now with COVID-19 we aren't hiring so not getting to use the software much. While we are not hiring we are testing out the surveys. Pros We like that the software can help us in selecting the right candidate for our position. It has allowed us to see some traits that might not be present in the interview. Cons I did have some trouble with some of the tests and selecting the correct tests to take (excel, etc). Also it is difficult when some of the jobs we have aren't in the list so we you have to select something that is closest to that. Reason for choosing Criteria We weren't actively searching for a software when I received the call and we deiced to do the free demo and then sign up to use the software. Years ago I have used another software so I have seen the benefits and we wanted to help improve our already low turnover and thought but digging deeper into the candidates skills we could do that more successfully.

The results are in a format that is very helpful and gives us a real picture of the applicant. Cons Creating reports needs to be made easier. I liked the way before this update that you could export results to an Excel spreadsheet. It would be helpful to see the applicants assessments and answers. When looking at jobs and there are more than one listed (ex. Teller) knowing how to combine them together would be helpful. Knowing which part of an assessment is timed. This new update seems more timely than the last one. Review Source AN Andy N.

They have been easy to get to the candidates and we haven't had any complaints from candidates in regards to accessing the tests. They do provide an additional data point for candidates.
