ERE
Recently a client told me about a new assessment program that made my ears perk up. It’s called the Bloomberg Assessment Test (BAT) and it’s yet another piece of solid evidence that the use of pre-employment assessment is being seen as a value-add by business leaders across the globe.
ERE
I continue to be impressed by the evolution of pre-employment assessment tools. This evolution is being driven by the continued growth of the value proposition assessment provides. As a result, an increasing number of new product include embedded assessments designed to help predict which applicants have the best chance of success.
ERE
I’ve never felt better about the evolution of pre-employment assessment. In this coming year we’ll see some real progress toward new levels of assessment adoption that will be based more on results then on hype. But there are some significant challenges to be faced.
ERE
I am still a bit disappointed that the majority of talent management vendors do not include assessment as a core part of their product offering. However, there were many talent management vendors who have begun to take steps down the right path. There were more vendors than ever offering a variety of interesting and unique products that demonstrate a continued deeper integration of assessment products designed to do more than just sling tests at job applicants.
ERE
Every year I attend the annual Society for Industrial Organizational Psychology conference to learn and make sure I am in touch with the latest goings-on in my field. This past year I was very excited to walk away with an unpublished research paper titled Legal Risk in Selection: An analysis of processes and tools, by Kate Williams, a doctoral candidate at Clemson University.
ERE
The web sure is an interesting place. Where else can people you have never met find you and reach out for highly specific advice, providing real world stories that help us keep in touch with the end-user perspective?
ERE
The general climate among HR and staffing professionals is that pre-employment assessment is a complex and confusing matter that is not really worth the hassle. Why is this so?

Thought leadership, opinions, and news related to pre-employment testing and assessment
Some interesting news recently about SHL whose parent private equity firm is working with Morgan Stanley to determine the next chapter in their rapidly changing history.
Now that we are halfway through the first month of a new year, we can turn away from celebrating the holidays, reading predictions and making resolutions – and get down to work.
Besides causing serious concerns about personal privacy, when has Google ever been wrong? I am sure they have had a few projects that have not worked out but few can argue that they have been a major driver in the evolution of the web.
We are very excited to announce our Tenth anniversary!!! That's right, through good times and bad we at Rocket-Hire continue to work hard to promote the benefits of best practices based screening and assessment programs.
I want to highlight a few trends that I find interesting and which are consistent with my own work as an assessment analyst. Most of the things I find interesting have to do with disconnects between what companies are saying they value and the actions they are using to prove it.
