Challenges Faced

Security Bank wanted a solution that would help solve challenges with enormous manual efforts required for Pen-Paper assessments which delayed the hiring process, reduce time spent on the unqualified candidates and integrate with Greenhouse.

Security Bank, one of the premier financial institutions of the Philippines, was looking to expand its operations by introducing a range of financial services for its clients. They were looking to hire on a bulk scale, mostly for entry-level/ fresher positions.

Security Bank relied on the traditional way of assessments - pen-paper test with candidates coming into their office for the assessment. The whole process concluded into an elaborate hiring process, wherein a lot of manual time and efforts were required. Traditional ways of assessments are not always foolproof and more often than not their Hiring Managers were spending time on interviewing unqualified candidates.

Security Bank was using Greenhouse as their ATS, however, manual assessments meant that even Greenhouse had to be updated manually. While Security Bank realized that they needed to move to an online assessment method, their recruitment team wanted a partner integrated with Greenhouse to manage the entire hiring workflow from their ATS.

After evaluating numerous options, Security Bank selected iMocha, one of the assessment partners of Greenhouse. One of the deciding factors was the 1-Click integration process offered by iMocha, where the integration was seamless and devoid of any dependency on the technical team. iMocha provided the flexibility of multiple sections in a single test. Security Bank created one aptitude test which evaluated skills like analytical thinking, abstract thinking, quantitative aptitude, and sales fundamentals. This test is used for various job roles like:

  • Customer facing
  • Sales
  • Accountant  
  • Banker/ Cashier
  • Analyst

Most of all, it’s a completely online solution, where they receive skill wise assessment report of candidates. This helps in funneling the candidates for the next phases.
