Webinar: Why Use Assessment Centers in Hiring?
With so many cheap pre-employment tests available on the market, why are organizations willing to invest more in assessment centers? The distinguishing feature of an assessment center are live humans who act as role players during simulations and observe and score applicants’ behaviors in different exercises. It’s the labor intensity of this type of assessment that drives its cost up compared to pre-employment tests that are completely automated. Despite the higher cost, the use of assessment centers is on the rise, especially their virtual version. Recent research has shown that assessment centers increase the accuracy of prediction of who’ll have success in the job and elicit favorable reactions from applicants, who are then more likely to accept the job offer.
In this webinar, we will discuss:
How to increase the accuracy of prediction to increase the quality of hires.
How applicant reactions to pre-employment tests impact their perceptions of employer brand and their intentions to accept a job offer.
How to limit bias and adverse impact in hiring decisions by combining different assessment techniques.
