Are you still stuck with a paper-based assessment method for evaluating the skills of technical profiles? Think again! Hiring tech talent adept at handling new and emerging technologies is one of the biggest challenges faced by companies today. One of the key reasons is the fact that there exists a serious talent crunch in technologies like Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain, Data Science, Machine Learning, etc.
Another top challenge faced by technical recruiters is related to the assessment of the job applicants in tech roles. The fact that technical recruiters need to deal with numerous job applicants as against the limited open positions often drives them into a templated response evaluation mode where they have a one-size-fits-all paper-based evaluation process for every candidate.
Hiring employees for tech roles based on paper-based assessment would only deliver mediocre talent, people who would eventually hamper your project deliverables. The Project Management Institute (PMI) in its 2018 report titled ‘Pulse of the Profession’, mentions how too much money is being wasted on poor project performance, for many reasons. As per PMI, one of the important causes of project failures is People as explained in this extract from their blog post:
“A project team made up of higher paid people with the right specialized skills is worth more per dollar than a group of lower cost people who need weeks or months of training before they can start to be productive.”
Assessing the technical skills of a potential hire therefore becomes an important mandate for hiring managers in technology. A solution that effectively evaluates people of different skill levels and expedites the time it takes to close open tech positions is the need of the hour.
