I receive frequent requests for pre-employment tests that provide a job fit score. These scores provide a pseudo “Dummies Guide to Hiring” — a lazy manager’s approach to screening job applicants.
Make no mistake about it: assessment systems that include a score make it easy to screen out high-risk candidates. They are a time-saver and reduce the assessment learning curve for recruiters and hiring managers.
