The State of Pre-Hire Assessments

Recruiting and selecting talented people has become a top HR priority. To support this priority, many organizations are leveraging assessment tools and processes to find, hire, and select the best candidates. To better understand both the use and value of modern assessments, HR.com and its partner, HireVue, launched The State of Assessments survey.

The investigation covered the following topics:

• The biggest challenges to hiring the best talent
• Primary benefits and uses of assessments
• Features that HR professionals want most from assessment tools
• Most commonly used components of assessments
• Time-to-completion and completion rates associated with assessments
• The role of video interviewing in the assessment process
• Future investments in pre-hiring assessments
• And, finally, the ways that high-performing organizations tend to differ from other organizations in terms of how they use these tools
