Candidate screening is the process of reviewing job applications, resumes, and cover letters to identify the most qualified candidates for a position. This typically involves checking for required qualifications, experience, skills, and cultural fit based on the job description.
Pre-employment assessments provide objective data on a candidate’s abilities and fit for the role, helping employers make more informed decisions. They can reduce bias in the hiring process and ensure candidates have the skills necessary to perform well in the job.
After assessments, hiring managers typically review the results and compare them against the job requirements. Top candidates will move forward in the hiring process, often progressing to final interviews or negotiations. Candidates who don’t meet the criteria may be notified or kept in the pool for future opportunities.
