As the coronavirus crisis continues to affect our everyday lives, organizations have no choice but to adapt. Despite the many challenges, however, there are also opportunities to implement positive changes that will last long after the pandemic. The shift to remote hiring processes is one example of a positive transformation in how we recruit talent.
Thanks to online pre employment skills testing, one of the most critical functions of staffing firms—assessing job-seekers capabilities—has shifted from time-consuming to streamlined. Here is a look at five ways staffing firms can increase placement rates with skills tests.

While pre employment skills tests that involve endless paperwork have been in the rearview mirror for some time, many staffing firms have not yet realized the benefits of mobile-friendly employment tests. It is no surprise that applicants for executive-level positions will have access to a computer with an internet connection to complete online pre employment tests. Candidates for entry-level positions, however, may lack these modern conveniences. Therefore, selecting an employment testing platform that allows job-seekers to complete skills tests via their mobile phones is extremely important.
Do not let qualified talent slip through the cracks simply because they lack access to technology. When you partner with eSkill, applicants can complete skills tests from any device with an internet connection.
Pre employment assessment tests that evaluate the specific skills and competencies required of a position enable staffing firms to hire top talent confidently.
The 2018 Global Assessment Trends Report found 90% of organizations who use pre employment assessments, use job-specific assessments. This finding is not surprising. Selecting applicants with the specific skill needed to succeed in a role not only improves the quality of hire, but it also reduces turnover rates and lowers recruiting costs.
eSkill’s vast library of job-specific and single-subject skills tests enables staffing firms to quickly select or configure pre employment assessment tests to match the requirements of any position in any industry. With various customization options, including the ability to bundle multiple tests, edit questions, and set the difficulty level, eSkill’s user-friendly interface makes creating job-specific assessments simple.
eSkill’s customizable employment tests provide organizations with data-driven insights that streamline the recruitment and selection process, increasing placement rates.
