How We Assess
The best assessment experiences are those tailored to appeal to candidates most likely to be successful within the organization and role. We feel strongly that the assessment experience should be fast, face-valid and engaging. We offer employee Assessment tools that can be delivered in the most convenient formats, including online, paper and pencil, desktop, phone and in-person. All of our solutions can be used as standalone tools or be easily integrated with other solutions to create a comprehensive hiring program.
We also believe it’s important to align the assessment experience to the look and feel of your organization. We are committed to providing you with unmatched responsiveness, complete customization capabilities and technological innovations that ensure the success of your recruitment and retention process. Regardless of the delivery method you choose, we offer the ability to track applicants, see real-time results and link to a searchable database.
Online
Our Online Assessment system administers Assessments through your Recruitment Technology System. The seamless experience minimizes candidate awareness that they are leaving the system. After completion, candidate information is immediately available for screening and reporting purposes. Candidates can be formally and professionally thanked for their participation with an automated response, contacted by a hiring manager for the next phase of the employment process, or simply sent back to your predetermined destination.
Our online system also presents hiring managers with appropriate structured interview questions that can be used for either telephone or in-person interviews. These questions can include Kenexa content, existing content from your organization, or a combination from both sources. The goals of the objective questions are to allow managers a more comprehensive measurement of items covered in the online assessment and to cover categories not measured in depth in the online assessment process. Regardless of content source or subject, the overall goal is to create a consistent and legally defensible process that helps hiring managers make an informed and valid hiring decision.
Paper and Pencil
When our Assessments are administered by paper and pencil, hiring managers or recruiters can log on to the system and enter candidate responses on the manual entry page. After the final item is entered, results are instantly emailed to the administrator account. Results are also available to the hiring manager or recruiter by logging on to the system and searching the database.
Desktop
Our Assessments can be individually delivered to desktops through Kenexa Prove It! This easy-to-use system provides the ideal format for assessing candidates from the convenience of their own computers. Test results are received instantly—ideal for selecting candidates in a fast-paced, competitive environment.
Phone
We offer Interactive Voice Response (IVR) technology, featuring Kenexa Touchscore™. Touchscore allows candidates to call a toll-free number, enter their unique identification number and immediately take their assessment. Touchscore is quick and easy-to-use, is ideal for candidates without online access and provides an interactive, engaging experience.
We also offer customized phone-based interviews through our Kenexa Insight assessment. This in-depth structured interview accurately identifies talented candidates for hire and promotion through an interactive phone assessment.
In-Person
Our in-person assessments feature Assessment Centers that simultaneously assess candidate potential and performance by using a variety of tests, interviews and simulation exercises. These tests provide the ideal environment to assess training and development needs for your existing employees, providing a clear view of existing skills and abilities. Popular with assessors and candidates, our Assessment Center range features ready-to-use exercises set in a variety of realistic scenarios.
