Test Validation

Test Validation

You cannot make good hiring decisions if your assessments are not valid. If a test is used to make employment decisions, it must be relevant to the job requirements and free of bias, and be able to accurately verify predictive value. This is why you need to conduct a statistical validation study and job-analysis.

Before eSkill, we did not have a formalized way to assess our candidates. As our company really started to grow in size, we started to notice the pains from hiring managers about the quality of candidates and recent hires. There was pressure to fill open roles as quickly as possible. There were a few instances of managers seeing that some new employees did not have the technical skills needed for positions. Once we started to use eSkill, we saw improved confidence when hiring and more qualified employees. Our managers were on board with using eSkill, mainly because we were able to work together to create specific assessments. All of the hiring managers were then required to complete assessments and provide feedback. Adjustments were made where necessary and we have not looked back since!
