Are you ready to modernize your hiring process and make smarter, more informed decisions? Science-based assessments can be a game changer when it comes to identifying the right candidates for your organization. They offer data-rich insights, helping you move beyond traditional resumes and interviews to get a clearer picture of a candidate’s skills, personality, and potential fit. In this blog, we’ll walk you through a step-by-step game plan for implementing assessments into your hiring strategy. Harver can help ensure that you’re not only hiring the right people but also getting the most out of your hiring efforts—and your budget.
Determine your organization’s individual needs and long-term goals. Are you looking to hire hourly employees in volume? Do you want to identify your high performers to hire from within your current ranks or prefer to dip into the external talent pool? Harver’s algorithms can analyze and rank thousands of resumes at a time to filter candidates based on the critical skills needed in each role.
Ask yourself what information is important to gather. Knowing the answers to these questions can help Harver design custom-fit assessments to help you not only find your next hire but optimize your future efforts. Is your organization looking to increase compliance in the workforce?
Don’t randomly choose assessment questions. There is a science to every employment question presented, and Harver can help you get the most out of data gathered from them. The customer service team will help you determine which assessments are likely to work best based on the roles your organization is looking to fill, and what data you are looking to measure.
Don’t look at pre-employment assessments as your only hiring tool. Yes. As a company that specializes in assessments, that sounds counterintuitive to what Harver does. We understand, however, that assessments are only one step in the process of hiring qualified candidates. That’s why we map out your entire hiring process and use data gained from assessments to help you figure out what the next step is, whether that means hiring new people, promoting existing talent, or completely revamping your hiring process.
Gone are the days of relying solely on traditional resumes to make crucial hiring decisions. The processing of candidate resumes can be labor-intensive and leaves too much room for human error and bad judgment. In today’s competitive job market, talent leaders need to modernize hiring practices, relying on objective data to ensure they are hiring the right talent in a fundamentally fair and efficient manner.
Using science-backed assessments such as those offered by Harver ensures a more objective, fair, and effective selection process by aligning in-person candidate evaluations with non-biased algorithms developed from years of psychological and cognitive science. By gaining insights from data gathered, the accuracy of hiring decisions and long-term employee success can help your organization drive overall growth and competitiveness.
