Selecting The Best Employee

Employers beware!   It is very important to be careful when selecting the best candidate for a job opening – there are legal issues to consider when hiring an employee. 

Always treat all candidates for the same position equally and use objective, trust worthy tests that pertain only to skills relevant to the position. 

More and more employers are using test to help them determine which potential hire is best. Here are two examples:

  1. Skill Test:  Having candidates take skill based tests confirms. That they have the skills they claim to have and show how well they compare to others in the field.

  1. Personality Test:  Measuring traits like flexibility and ambition, personality test provide an indication of candidates’ interpersonal skills.
