Over 80% of the fortune 500 companies use assessment tools as part of their hiring process. Pre-employment assessments tools save anywhere between 30-70% of the per head hiring costs and significantly help reduce bad hiring decisions.
In large scale markets like India and highly technical roles like that of software development or accounting, it is nearly impossible to get by without using these tools. These tools help companies gather objective data about the skillset of the candidates, and take data backed decisions on which candidates to shortlist for further interviews. Such tools are of different types, and can test candidates on the strength of hard skills, soft skills, culture/team fit etc.
In the table below, we are comparing and contrasting two popular tools – HackerRank and SkillCounty to help you decide on which one to use.
Note: Screening tests, hiring tests, pre-hiring tests, employment tests or pre-employment tests literally mean the same thing. So in the article these terms are being used interchangeably.
