Candidate Evaluations and
When it comes to hiring, resumes are only the tip of the iceberg, and many good candidates are unaware that their resumes hamper their hiring chances. This is why screening candidates is such a significant challenge for HR teams. So, how do you move beyond resumes to truly assess the calibre of your applicant? The key lies in the evaluation process or how you can integrate it to hire the best talent faster.

Several tools and applications on the market assist HR teams in screening their candidates effectively. Here are 3 focus areas to work on when designing your candidate evaluation process.


Asking Targeted Questions to Reveal Deeper Insights

Although interviews reveal much more about a candidate than a resume, you don’t need to wait until meeting the candidate to screen them. Design a screening form or simply use pre-made forms to pinpoint the information that data that’s the most essential. You may want to integrate application screening forms to:

  • Streamline long lists of candidates using bulk action
  • Get useful information right off the bat
  • Comply with GDPR regulations and confine candidate data collection only to what’s needed


Using Candidate Assessment Tools to Measure Fit and Skills

Solidify your evaluation process further by using skills assessment and tests to vet for fit, quality of work, and flight risk. Skill assessment tools can help you:

  • Get data insights and metrics to make a strong case for certain candidates
  • Reduce evaluation time with automated assessments that deploy when needed
  • Integrate third party tools like video conferencing and background vetting without any hassle


Simplify Candidate Evaluation with Objective Questions

Unconscious bias can hinder the evaluation and recruitment of well-matched candidates. Some tools integrate scorecards that generate a standard set of feedback from interviewers, helping to reduce superfluous input that could possibly be biased. Here are some ways it can help:

  • Generate concise feedback to help streamline evaluation
  • Ensure uniformity among interviewers and set clear expectations
  • Develop a quantitative groundwork to underpin successful hiring decisions


What’s Next?

Every day that an essential job position remains open costs companies thousands of dollars. This is why reducing hiring time and accelerating recruitment is so crucial, not just for HR processes but for cost-effectiveness. The points discussed in this article pinpoints the challenges that hiring managers face and how certain tools can address them to make hiring effective, seamless and quick.

However, getting money to every employee or contractor on payday in their preferred account, on-time, and across multiple geographies is not easy. With our global payments network and payroll specific functionality, we make payroll seamless, so platforms don't have to worry about the technical and legal lift to send money across the world knowing that their employees will have access to funds when they need them."
