Accurate pre-hire screening tools are the key to providing a long-term, sustainable recruitment strategy that actually works and SHL’s assessment and aptitude tests are the best measurement tools in the world. Our ability and competency product portfolios are particularly relevant to the Recruitment stage of the employee lifecycle.
Many of the world’s leading companies know that recruitment systems, Internet sourcing, or CV tracking tools are only a small part of the solution. They understand that successful recruitment is about selecting and hiring candidates who will create value. Serious recruiters use SHL assessments as the real tools to measure, identify, and select real talent.
SHL won’t post jobs for you. We won’t launch a Web crawler to ply CVs across thousands of job boards. We won’t even provide a tool for you to search key words on CVs. Instead, we give you fast, accurate, and valid assessments that help recruiters find and select candidates that have the right blend of competencies, abilities, and styles ideal for your company. And, by evaluating candidates before they are interviewed, we can save you time and money.
Using the Internet
Internet recruitment and the systems most companies installed in the last five years – are very much like the Internet bubble itself. Companies reacted to an immediate need, putting transactional solutions in place without a clear long-term strategy. Most recruitment systems provided transactional solutions geared at attracting and pulling people in to the organisation. These systems create new problems in today’s market, often swamping recruiters and HR departments with CVs/resumes. Value from Internet recruitment is obtained only through the use of measurement tools such as SHL assessments. Rather than using the Internet to draw in thousands of applicants, SHL’s online tests allow remote evaluation of candidates in a secure environment so that you achieve the highest quality candidate pool possible ready for interview.
Our assessments work with your existing systems. You can plug SHL assessments in to your recruitment management system, your HRIS system, or even your corporate Web site. Examples of integrated technology from SHL include AccessAbility, our pioneering online numeric and verbal reasoning tests now used with more than 10 leading recruitment systems. We even help Neiman Marcus select top-performing sales associates with a link directly from their Lotus Domino/Notes® HRIS desktop to the SHL Customer Contact Styles Questionnaire.
If you don’t have an existing recruitment or selection system, SHL provides a full range of flexible delivery options to deploy SHL assessments when you need them, where you need them.
