WARNING: Your company may be at risk...
With unemployment rates continuing to rise, you are probably getting more and more applicants looking for work. Unfortunately, chances are good that these applicants may exaggerate (or even lie) just to appear qualified for a position. Now you don’t have to take their word for it. You don’t have to put your company’s reputation on the line by filling a position with someone who only looks good on paper or sounds good in an interview.
One of the most difficult tasks a company faces is finding the right person for a job. Most follow the traditional interview procedures and trust their instincts. The problem with this method is that it is human nature to hire people we like and that have similar personalities to our own.
If you are an accountant and are hiring accountants, you have about a 50% chance of hiring the right person for the job. But, if you are hiring for a position you have little experience in, your chances for hiring the right person are even less.
Although the interview and reference check are an important part of the hiring process, the only true way to know what an applicant is capable of is to put their skills to the test. You can do this “on the job”, by hiring them and hoping they live up to their resume. However, it can take months to realize they are not qualified for the position and it can result in costly errors with the IRS and State Government, vendors, customers, creditors, and other employees.
There is a way to protect your company!
Skills’ testing is the only way to avoid
wasting valuable time & money on an unqualified applicant!
