Identifying and engaging talent is only half the battle in today’s highly competitive job market. Speed-to-hire has never been more critical — funnel attrition is happening at an alarming rate, especially when it comes to highly sought-after technical talent. Technical skills assessment tools are an excellent solution that can speed up candidate processing and limit the need for humans to handle every round of the interview process. However, there are associated challenges you will need to consider as you onboard technical screening  automation.

In order to manage candidate volume, many organizations turn to screening  automation as a way to increase hiring velocity. This is where many firms fail. “Onboard automation,” they said. “It will be easy,” they said. “It will save time,” they said. But is it that easy?

Actually, it can be, if you understand candidate behavior, technical roles, and develop an execution plan! You need to employ key strategies that will motivate applicants to participate.

Join us for a free webinar on Wednesday, November 10th, as Ron Fish explores the process of automated technical screening, the reasons the process goes awry, and what can be done to avoid failure and disappointment. 

Key takeaways of this session will include: 

  • Implementing assessment automation while maintaining an optimal candidate experience
  • Strategically partnering with hiring stakeholders to demonstrate value to candidates
  • Learning how to increase applicant participation and limit funnel attrition at the automated assessment stage 
  • Retaining the “Human Factor” in your technical assessment process
  • And more! 

This webinar will help teams significantly improve their screening processes for tech talent. Attendees will leave this presentation with more confidence in their talent selection activities, and their hiring managers and candidates alike will greatly benefit from their refined expertise.
