    If assessments work then why are employers complaining about a lack of qualified candidates? They need to go away.

    • @tekcomputers
      @tekcomputers 6 месяцев назад +1

      The assessments don't decrease qualified candidates, they filter out unqualified candidates. We recruiters do not put those assessments there for no reason. The assessments are built from a profile of expected capabilities and skills a person needs to be able to successfully perform a role being hired. Doing away with them just means more resources are wasted on unqualified candidates.

      I have no evidence that private sector assessments are like this. But a Police Department was sued for declining a candidate for Peace Officer for having too high of a test score. The Judge agreed with the argument that the higher the test score the less likely they are to take orders.

    just had to take one and had this happen, tbh this is the issue. A person like me no matter how much preperation, no matter how well i prepare, will not do as great as someone who excels in that sord of thing. I have severe test anxiety, a lot of the times i over think my issues, or my brain gets confused on basic questions. I think these need to be taken away, and just see how well someone does at a job, is it more risky, sure. But I guarantee if the job is offering a high salary, the worker is not going to slack or risk losing that. These are the issues that I believe is wrong with this country, these are my opinion, people who are for this, are never going to agree with me and that's cool, but I think this country needs to change, their is so many things in the way that holds people back from succeeding, and staying at a dead end jobs, and these are one of the issues. Like I said these are my opinions, but I also feel it's laziness, because real human connection can be so much better, you get a real feel of someone in an interview. Now they are using these to determine someone's worth, that's pretty horrible.

    Huge time waster. Customer service questions should never be multiple choice. Lots of them should be based on how you respond to the question. Even more ridiculous is that those scenarios don't really relate to the job, but are generalized questions. That's like asking a graphic design how to design a logo.... What logo? What is it for? There is no straight answers. These tests always fail to address with multiple choice.

Then gets interrupted by this guy who says You don't! What you do is get good at firing quicker haha. But the point is people can BS anything and employers should know they will never know how good a employee is until they are in action. Business is all about risks and losing money to get to the good part. These assessments just wastes people's time.

    I just took a prevuehub test yesterday and I don’t feel good about it 😂. My recruiter was nice enough to tell me to google prevuehub to get an idea, I did, but of course the actual test has different variations of the questions. I didn’t complete 2 of the 5 parts within the time. I’ll find out if I’m still scheduled for the next interview step this Tuesday or Wednesday. Then I have an assessment test for Geico to do today, after my interview with another company this afternoon. How’s that for time management. I guess it’s a good problem to have 😅

    Do you have any information like this on a Post Offer Employment Test -particularly the physical kind? I just failed such a test with a machine measuring tasks that I literally have done in one form or another in REAL jobs most of my life -whereas now I’m asked to push or pull as hard as I possibly can or play on a peg board while kneeling and then stand and then kneel … while the physical parts of the test are valid, I feel that the machines measuring this and the “real life examples” given as comparison leave gaps for REAL activity.
    As an example given:
    I was asked to push or pull as hard as I possibly could in a task likened to pushing or pulling a loaded pallet Jack … the machine was set to measure my force -But in REALITY, if I had a non budging pallet Jack, I’d be investigating to see why it wasn’t moving, I WOULDN’T apply force until exhaustion. (The phrase “work smarter not harder” comes to mind).

      Indeed assessments are generally attached to the individual canddiate's indeed profile, following you around, and conveyed to any indeed job you are applying to. Individual employer assessments however are generally not shared, usually the results are limited to recruitment/TA staff, HR, and maybe a select number of Operations/Management personnel when allignments/calibrations are done between TA and Operations to ensure recruitment has the correct candidate profile.

      The assessments are there to prevent unqualified people, including people without the talent and aptitude for the role from getting in, or many times even cloging up interview times with recruitment. Hiring an unqualified person is more of a resource drain than having an empty seat.
