At CareerStarter, we help companies get great hires by allowing them to request pre-interview skills-based assessments to applicants who are interested in that particular position. These short assessments can be in the form of video, audio, work-sample or all three. This allows the HR rep to get a better look at the applicant before they get an interview. An example challenge could be for all applicants who applied for a Sales position to submit a 1 minute video of them selling the HR manager your companies services as if the HR manager was a potential client. In 60 seconds or less, you are able to see the applicant’s selling/presentation skills, personality, and willingness to put themselves out there to showcase their talents to you. Keep in mind, this is all BEFORE you bring them in for an interview. Simple assessments like this can save your organization time and money by focusing your time on the candidates who actually take that extra-step to submit their short work-sample and/or video showcasing their skills.
