Trends Report V8 Highlights: A Deeper Look into Today & Tomorrow’s Assessments Technology

In our previous Trends Report V7, we dove deep into the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI), a tool that is pushing the envelope in our space. AI isn’t the only technology seeing advancements.

As mentioned at the start of 2017, we predicted 2017 to be the Year of Assessments. Of course, using Assessments as Talent Acquisition tools isn’t a new practice, nor is it an unpopular one. The advancements are seen in how emerging tech is increasing Assessment accuracy and capitalizing on Gamification for better candidate experience.

HackerRank, a skills-based tech hiring platform that helps companies evaluate technical skills better, shares how they helped VMWare widen their talent pool by 100%, reduce screening time by 75% and reduce resume biases through Skills-Based assessments.

Skills-Based hiring has turned tech recruiting on its head. It’s the philosophy of putting skills above pedigree, resumes, GPA, degrees, and certifications. Most employers’ processes are the same:

 

  • Filter resume keywords via ATS
  • Manually phone-screen candidates
  • Hold unstructured, tedious whiteboard interviews

This process is painfully manual, unmeasurable, and ridden with biases. Plus, there’s no exact, quantifiable way to measure skills until the candidate is far along in the interview. Take a look at how HackerRank is breaking down barriers in tech hiring.
