As employers start hiring again two question we are frequently being asked from our HotlinkHR clients is “how can I make sure I hire person who really fits in here, we can’t afford a bad hire?” and “we’ve got the basic hiring process down but want to take it up a notch, what more can we do?”. The answer to both questions is to add assessment testing to your hiring process. Using assessment testing will help you understanding a person’s temperament and communication style which in turn will allow you to obtain better information during interviews, assess “culture fit” and provide insights into how the candidate will work with the current team. Here’s a quick overview of the benefits of adding assessment test to your hiring process.

Good advice Kathryn. Assessment testing helps you round out your overall screening of a candidate, and in many cases, it saves you time and money by avoiding bad hires.
Agreed, Jerry. Equally important to the hiring process is a background testing and drug screening such as http://www.tandemselect.com provides.
