Skill assessment has been apart of the job field since the beginning of time. Skills are assessed on a daily basis through spreadsheets, log sheets, observation, and capital gain for your shift. In fact the first time that an assessment test is given to an employee is during the interview. The interviewer will ask some tough and possibly unanswerable questions to see how the prospective employee will react, what they know, and how trustworthy the prospective employee is. Some times there will be other skill assessments before, during or after the interview that will include hands on testing. An employee may be asked to set up Outlook, or design a cover page for a magazine, in order to show their abilities with certain programs.

Specific skills are required for specific jobs, and when people submit resumes they are not always 100 percent truthful. When they come to the interview, they end up wasting your time and theirs because they do not have the correct qualification. Online Skill assessment removes this concern from your mind.

Online Skill assessment allows you to eliminate that employee that will slow down production, or cause other problems that will cost you money, reputation, or time. You will be able to see what they really know based on a set of questions that you create and are important to the position that you are hiring for.

How this works is you set up an account with an online skill assessment company, and create a test that asks questions based on your needs. Then when you get a resume from someone that seems like they will fit what you need, you can send them to the site, let them take the test, and see how they do. If they score well and know the majority of the things that you need then you can bring them in for an interview. If they score poorly then you will not want to waste your time on them, and move on to the next candidate.

If you want to meet the employee before the test you can also have a computer set up in your office that is dedicated to the tests that you have created. This will allow them to come in, talk to you briefly, and then take the test.

eSkill can customize a skills test to fit any knowledge of any job position. Their pre-employment career skills assessment tests are the most accurate, relevant, and time-efficient tests available for measuring a candidate's job skill fit.
