HireSelect is an online pre-employment testing tool that presents skills, personality, and aptitude exams designed by leading testing experts. It is a user-friendly and intuitive service that is easy to implement and needs minimal training.
To implement an effective staff testing program, you need to select appropriate job-related exams. HireSelect helps you by recommending suitable exams based on the US Department of Labor's O*Net repository of more than 1,100 job profiles. The software allows you to customize these test batteries by removing or adding exams based on your organization’s specific needs.
You can test candidates at your office or remotely. HireSelect permits you to arrange a link to test applicants onsite, or link to the exams from the Careers page of your firm’s website or from an internet job posting.
The software scores tests in real time, emails score reports to you, and also stores them in your HireSelect account. You can view, export, and archive the results here. Plus, you can maintain secrecy in your hiring process by using a functionality that conceals candidates’ names and email addresses.
HireSelect provides different score reports for each exam, but most aptitude and skills test reports include a raw score which indicates the number of correctly answered questions and a percentile ranking that shows the position of a candidate relative to other exam-takers. For personality tests, score reports are a bit more complex and show a percentile ranking for particular traits, and in some cases, a total score based on a combination of all or some of the measured traits.
Criteria Corp. charges an annual subscription fee for HireSelect that gives you unlimited use of all the tests. The fee is based on your organization’s size and the vendor offers suitable plans for companies of all sizes. Contact Criteria for more details and get your quote.
